This article is misleading. BT is not removing all caps, it is only removing a 300GB cap for BT Infinity customers. They still have a 10GB cap and a "whopping 40GB" cap in place on their basic and mid level plans.
'Hi everyone
Yes, this is true! and BT Infinity customers will benefit from the removal of
Fair Usage Policy (FUP) controls when they begin to be removed from April 2011.
Once removed, heavy user customers will be able to download/stream as much as
they wish without having their speeds restricted.
BT will remove the FUP controls currently applied to customers with ‘atypical’
usage. Today atypical users are restricted at 300GB usage and account for less
than 0.5% of the BT customer base. BT will not target any individuals with
restrictions based on usage levels. However, we still have traffic management
policies that will restrict certain applications / protocols, such as P2P,
when the network is busy.
As BT continues to invest in the network and network bandwidth we can now
remove these restrictions and ensure the experience of the wider customer base.
(Note that charges will still apply for going over limits on BT Total Broadband
Options 1&2 and BT Infinity Option 1 but traffic will not be managed.)
Thx
