This is a very old argument. You have an opinion, someone else disagrees with you, and so that person is 'denying you your right to free speech'.

Quite apart from the fact that this is a private server upon which no legal right to free speech actually exists, you need to understand that just because you happen to believe something, that doesn't make it 100% right.

If you really are using your connection as you describe, it'll get picked up in due course and you won't be able to do it any more.

And, as I say to everyone in this situation, no-one forces you to use ntl. If it is as bad as you say, then simply find another provider. There are loads of them about.

ntl will not make any money from you if you use your connection as described, so I'm sure they'd be quite pleased if you effed off.

How mature


Is it just you that is allowed free speech and an opinion?? I'll respect yours when you respect others that don't agree with you!

Now if you can untwist your knickers for a minute......



Why, if you can get it you are not moving to them if you are so unhappy with NTL....

You have no idea what I think of NTLs "Cap" and FYI it is not my beloved. I don't agree with it at all........

If 8mb uncapped ADSL was available here I would be gone like a halfwit..... err I mean shot

Relax dude and stop feeling the need to fight against everything you think is not going your way

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.

I've always had the best connection NTL can offer from 56k days to the new 3mb connection... i believe I'm even living in the 1st place NTL had cable modem and also 1 of the test area's (Guildford)
i have in the passed but not so much now "abused" my connection and i feel should be able to use whatever i want/need each month.. I do pay £38 a month just for the net and then you add on all the other services and it comes to about £75 a month or more with phone calls...

Will NTL seriously be cutting off people like myself and many others that pay the most each month because you download and upload ? ...
I've not once had a letter/email or phone-call from NTL in all the time i have been with them 6 years now in all but if i had to I'd leave in a minute to go with a no cap ADSL isp..
It's just i find it strange that NTL would consider doing something like this to the highest paying customers.If they had a faster connection that cost more i'd be happy to go with that as my main reason for always getting the best connection is mainly because of this fact,to make sure i don't get into any trouble..

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.

Have you ever noticed there seems to be a lot of 1 time posters that turn up throw a tizzy fit and you never see them again. ? I sometimes wonder if they are the same person setting up multiple name and logins just so they can troll ?. Must get cold under the bridge now and then

Re: *ALL* ntl Cap Discussion Here Please.

All the people here that are passionate about the cap, how would capping the upload affect you?

What ever you are downloading/uploading (personally I do not care), would you accept a upload cap vs a download cap?

Is it more reasonable to you for a upload cap instead of downloaad?

I have no idea what the answers will be which is why I am asking, personally I would much prefer a cap of upload (I rarely share things apart from occasional msn avatars and answering emails etc. ). ntl probably will not implement that which makes sense (well in my world it does hehe).

The aim is to reduce stress and ignition kindly pointed out upload causes more stress if the network was tipety topety, which sortta goes with my thoughts. originally he said that there are 2 types, so it will not sort out the immediate problems but its a starter for 10, is it not?

For me , you could totally cap the upload, but of course, some people actually use it.
