BT plans to introduce Bandwidth Limits

BT (British Telecom), in its capacity as an ISP, is planning to introduce usage allowances on its Broadband products apparently in order to offer a better and fairer deal to the majority of its customers.
These allowances have been set at levels that will not affect the vast majority of our customers.
BT will not start charging for usage above the allowances until early 2005. After this time, if you go over your monthly allowance you can decide if you want to buy more capacity, so you are in control of your bill. We will confirm prices for additional usage nearer this time but indicative prices for additional usage allowance top ups are currently £2 per additional GB, although we plan to develop a range of options that could make this even less.

    What sucks is if a competitor emerges advertising the fact that they have none of this new crap, they will only attract the users who use a lot of bandwidth and thus lose money.

    Edit: It does look like NTL is a competitor already from the link.. well, I dunno anything about british intarweb
