I'm actually tempted to get multiple business 1.5mb links put in and use some sort of bonding router. Same bandwidth, lower price. Would have been happy to spend about 3k a year on the DIA... not 13k! 
* Edit - I'm aware that there are obvious other advantages to the DIA like 1:1 contention, PROPER support and 1:1 up / down speed ratio. *

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
If you look at http://www.adslguide.org.uk/ there are a couple of articles for new services. A SDSL service from Fluidata and an unmetered service from BISCit. Why not try them if NTL caps are a problem?

...or you could use one of the many non-crippled, non-metered, competatively priced ISPs.

At some places you can't get SKY and it's cheaper to have phone+digital through NTL than digital through NTL then phone through BT...

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
Friend of mine is getting bonded ADSL from nildram.
2x 2mbit making 4096/512 for about £90 a month unmetered.
The future of NTL is budget internet, rest have to go elsewhere.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
Each and to their own. NTL isn't 'budget' internet, thats just overpriced.
Remind me how much bulldog or even telewest offer for even then, an overpriced 4mbit service?

Heh, I'll remember that one when I have 8128/768 for much less in a couple of months from a UK company 
Seriously that's quite concerning that someone's willing to pay that amount for an internet connection that slow but not the first person I know who's paying that amount for bonding, and purely for personal use assuming that's the case.
BTW It's £100 a month, £45 for each connection and £10 for the bonding. That doesn't reflect at all on ntl, most people really aren't going to want to pay even 1/4th that amount for their home connection.
NB That's not my opinion, HSI's mass market price point is around the £25 per month mark and most connections in the UK are at this price or below.

Same here. And for most* people who want that little bit more than an entry level package.
* most = 90% of customers who only use 10% of network resources

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
2MB 30GB cap £25.
If itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s 30GB over the month no holds barr and I could download 2-3Gb in one day if I wanted to then itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s a great price is it not. I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t download a lot but I would like the option if once or twice I wanted too.
For £7 more than the 1MB I get a speed quicker than I could ever need.

Re: [Merged] *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion In Here Please.
ignition care to name this company? and is it london only.
thanks.
My friend lives in a preety much unpopulated area and only is getting adsl enabled in march, he has a very high need for traffic, he set out his plans to nildram from that start and told them he would be using 100s of gigs a month and this was the reccomended package for him.
