I was impressed at the 1.5 times speed increase from 750k to 2M.

which is no worse than the current cap that NTL rarely enforce. In their
blurb, they say they "reserve the right to contact customers who exceed
their limit, and by doing sok, impact on network performance". I don't
think, for the majority of users, it will make much difference.

If you are worried about a 1 GB a day cap you are obviously doing something
illegal, or constantly streaming a 128Kb/s radio station.

Not necessarily, if I want to download a new release, update or service
pack from my Microsoft MSDN subscription then this can easily exceed 1gb for
a perfectly legit download.

And I think the point is that you won't be doing this every day, or even every
week. Ntl don't seem to warn people who go over the 1Gb on occasions - they are
more interested in the serial leeches.

I don't believe anyone has ever been unreasonably cut off by ntl for going over
the limit anyway - unless someone can show me some evidence?

And you would do this every day of the month would you?
