"AntiCap grew out of the spontaneous protests of users following ntl:home (part of the ntl group) announcing the imposition on its NTLworld broadband customers a daily download limit of 1Gigabyte. This restriction, was imposed on 7th February 2003, and is commonly referred to as "the cap". ntl:home originally promoted their broadband service as "unlimited use" and "always on". For the fastest connection speeds they also marketed these as "suitable for heavy users and those wishing to make large downloads". Many users are now, or will potentially be, unable to use their connection to its potential due to the cap. At the fastest service speed available (1Mbps), users downloading at full speed could use their limit in around 2.5 hours (ntl:home's other service speeds are affected by a less severe time factor), a big reduction from an always on, unlimited use service!"
Sounds like a problem for users in uk? If i signed a petition, would it make a shit of difference?

i wonder about this shit. i mean compared to how much bandwith cable tv uses how does it stack up? i dont know, but im wondering out loud. how do the 2 compare in bandwith used, as i got a feeling that cable uses a lot also and they dont charge more for the # of times you view a channel.

NTL have changed the caps now.
300K - 30Gig cap
1Meg - 3Gig cap (They are forcing all 300K members to upgrade unless you officially "opt-out")
2Meg - 30Gig cap
3Meg - 30Gig cap
They are gonna introduce 10Meg unlimited soon (i think)

LOL! I've cleaned other's computer browser's cache folders with more than 1GB of wasted space & he/she doesn't even do file sharing/downloading at all. He/She got them from shopping online only!
