    But when are they going to increase the limit from £50,000. This will start being a problem for many people in a year or two when they have reached 50K in their cash ISA.

    This is a problem already solved as you don't have to hold it all in 1 Cash ISA.

    yep but its a pain to have ISAs in multiple accounts especially when you are trying to chase the best rates as well. Its bad enough for standard savings accounts but soon it will be for ISAs as well.
