They are upping the speeds again:

Good stuff eh? 256kb will be staying the same but their 750kb service is increasing to 1mb whilst the 1.5mb will increase to 2mb and thus the 3mb to 4mb.

Shame it's in response to NTL's increases which as of Jan/Feb Next year will be:
1Mb @ ｣17 (currently 300k)
2Mb @ ｣24 (currently 750k)
3Mb @ ｣37 (currently 1.5Mb)
As standard for all new installs, existing cutomers will have to pay a ｣25 admin fee (though not confirmed) to upgrade.

It's not, they've set new caps for each tier:
1mbit - 5gb/month
2mbit - 30gb/month
3mbit - 40gb/month
Not bad for me, I'm on the 1.5mbit at the moment, and while some days I download tons, others I'm hardly at the PC at all - 40gb a month works out far better than the (theoretical) 1gb a day at the moment.
How strictly enforced this will be is of course only speculation, but some NTL insider bod did say it'd be far more rigid than the current 1gb/day..
1mbit - 5gb/month

Is there a program I can download that will record how much bandwidth I've used up? So I can work out how much I'm using...

You sure about that?
5GB can be used in about a week.

5GB can be used in about a week.
Going strictly by the book, it can be done in 66.6 hours!

I could easily get through 5GB in a couple of days on my 1mb.

In one month i managed to use 56GB.
I was quite surprised.
I was quite surprised.
Got no limits here (I think) probably going to upgrade to 1.5mb (soon to be 2mb)so I don't know what it'll be then :D

Just speculation, world from some ntl insider person, but those caps wouldn't surprise me. Want more, pay for the next tier..
Incidentally, Telewest are also upping their speeds with no usage caps - bit pricier though.
