    Posts like that piss me off because they're in jest. But they should be a reality.
    Plus, every time I see one titled like that, a small amount of hope begins to build up inside me that maybe, just maybe, Ireland will finally see some real competition.

    But no, it's just another f*cking retard trying to be funny.

    What I posted there came from a manager in NTL. An internal memo went around NTL this morning as far as I know.

    Well if the news does indeed lead to a similar statement from NTL, then I'll apologise without hesitation.

    there were also a massive amount of "omgomgomg, april foolz0rz!!!" threads too.

    Having read the other NTL thread just now it would appear that this information has actually come about already, SachaJ was merely reposting it.

    Originally the cap on the top product was 1GB per day. They increased it to 40GB a few months later. NTL seem to be pretty easy going with the caps anyway, I've never heard of anyone be charged for or kicked off NTL for going over a cap, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    I've heard of people being "politely requested" to stop they f*cking warezing :)
