    Nobody except NTL or somebody that has received a letter in recent months can answer this, I'd imagine it depends on network load and who's takibng the piss.

    Your package is uncapped but it still has a fup.

    jack222 infracted for acting the muppet!

    Cabaal,

    Take a look at the discussion in this thread:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055361456&referrerid=59211

    A couple of posters said it could be as high as 500GB but as Cabaal points out, we won't really know that for sure until people start going over whatever the "fair use" cap and start getting warning letters - if a few users get them, that should give people an idea. I'm pretty sure I was over 100GB last month so I'm certain the limit is higher than that - when they were going to upgrade the 6Mbps users to 12Mbps, they had posted a cap of 120GB so the fair use is at least as high as that, if not higher (but by how much?...)

    I'm guessing it isn't a fixed amount.

    I guess it is based on if other customers on your node are suffering from congestion caused by you.

    Which is fair enough IMO.
