Well as the man says, he's only a muppet, maybe he doesn't understand.

Seriously though, it's a completely different situation. It's no longer the threat of a letter for being naughty, it's a proper hard cap, people will leave this time, just a matter of how many.

YES i do know that we do not actively cap our connections. However its always the same people that say they will leave. I justed stated a fact. Why do you keep dragging up the cap ?.

I'm sorry, I could have sworn I was in a cap thread. My mistake.

It's a very similar situation. NTL leaked details of the current caps on one friday afternoon (although they have announced caps for later in the year this time). Last time, they mentioned nothing of what would happen to people going over their download limits, so the rumours started (cut offs IIRC). This time, they have mentioned that something will happen, but have not specified what, so, the rumours are starting (speed drops appear to be the favourite).

AFAIK, people didn't leave in their thousands (which was one of the threats bandied about last time as well). Maybe some left, but not enough to make much of a difference to NTL. I personally think it will be the same this time.

The FACT is people said they would leave IF NTLcapped the connection. NTL DIDN'T cap the connection. People DIDN'T leave in their droves. I don't know how much clearer that can be made.

Also, I didn't tell you what you can and cannot post.

I am fairly confident that users will not leave in droves this time. And some members of anti cap uk stated they would leave to teach ntl a lesson and had contacted NTL for a disconnection date however they are still with us. This was on the other board so have no proof unfortunetly.

I've cancelled my NTL TV and phone service in preperation for these caps. Just waiting for caps to kick in before my broadband goes aswell. To be clear, I have no interest in punishing NTL. I have no interest in who offers me my gas/electricity/tv/phone/internet, I simply want a service that suits me. Once caps are in place I WILL find a new provider.

What other people do, frankly, is none of my concern. This is the real world involving people's real wages. Consumers have the choice to do as they please, and they will do so.

Totally agree i have just had my NTL phone disconnected and gone back to BT, now i am just waitibg for the first time i get capped and then i will switch to another provider. Now i actually have a choice who gets my custom this time. I fully understand some people need capping but to cap everyone is a bit rich IMO

What you just stated is indeed correct and i have just done the same with British gas who have the worst customer service of any company i have ever delt with. I always consider what a product cost's and if i get value for my money. No 2 people will always agree on what is classed as best value. For my usage 40 gig will be fine but for the next person that might be complety wrong and they will move to a different provider. That is there decision and nothing i can do will change that

One of the mods posted it, 2MB is 1GB per day, and so is the 3MB. Lost it now though, did one of the mods remove it?
