Re: NTL Ripping us all off
Im talking about NTL ripping us off by us paying £38 or so a month and only getting potentially full speed for an hour a day. Hense placing a 1gb a day cap. If you pay for a service you should get unrestricted downloads. Its like getting Cable T.V and only being allowed to watch it one hour a day.

Then you need to post your comments in the cap thread we already have running here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=25635
If your issue is the cap, please post in that thread rather than start a new one to discuss it.

Yes it does, as I personally don't believe anything legal can be done to use a gig in an hour.
However, I'd gladly be corrected?

Downloading Linux ISOs (close to 3 gig I believe when I last looked), video trailers, trial versions of games. It's possible, but I certainly don't do that every day.

This is not a cap discussion.
For those that want to discuss the cap, please do so in the link I gave earlier as this thread will now be closed.
