I think he means the bandwidth limit on the webspace he gets with his NTL package - and he's worried about it as he's been posting a lot of pictures recently, therefore increasing his traffic.

# Well, why not say so?
There is no official limit on bandwidth from an ntlworld homepage, although they reserve the right to remove access to your webspace if it causes excessive traffic or a problem to the network.

# thanks
I'm gonna have to email them for figures. I reckon posting a 200k image on here would get downloaded at least a hundred times or so. If its frontpage stuff, I shudder to think :D

# What figures?
I work in ntl broadband tech support, so any figures you want, if they're gonna give 'em, I can tell you.

# Each case is treated on its individual merits.
I've not heard of them ever taking one down for excessive traffic, but I have no doubt they would if it caused serious problems. However, even a frontpaged image that won the challenge wouldn't cause enough traffic to crash ntl's homepage servers.

# cool
I guess then they're more interested in people running huge websites with shops and stuff on etc.

# Indeed.
If you REALLY want to know, email [email protected] - that's the AUP department, and they'll tell you how worried they'd be, but I don't think they'd care too much.
