It's not going to be enforced unless people take the piss, there is already a 1gb limit on the service but people will just move somewhere else and NTL dont want that

yeah thats the hard part, finding a new isp, hopefully telewest will move over to my area aswell but im not holding out hope as theyre rivals with ntl and telewest is so called due to it being on teh west and im on teh east
