Gutted just heard about NTL caps

I've just taken NLT 1mg broadband and in my rush to get broadband having not had it for 3 years I did'nt read the small print were it says it is a 3mg limit a month !!!! I download far more than 3mg. What can I do?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Pete.

    im sure you mean your on the 1mb package - with a download cap of 3gb.... otherwise you make it sound like 3mb - which anyone would use up in minutes.....

    you always just upgrade to the 2mb package with 30Gb usage

    - failing that, if you ordered less han 7 days ago, you may be able to use the cooling off period to cancel the order, otherwise your pretty much stuck with it

    I have NTL 1Meg but have been told by CS that the 3Meg limit is not active at present and will be informed when this happens. I have been with NTL from the start so I can always channge when it happens but may not help in first year except to upgrade.

    I have been on it about 6wks now so i'm stuck with it. Is it true that 3mb users will be or have been upgraded to a 10mb connection? How much is the 3mb connection and how much can you download with that?

    Cheers,

    The cap is not enforced at the moment, I always go over my 3GB limit.
