    Do they have or enforce a monthly download limit?
    Are users allowed to run their own servers such as game or email.
    Is there any port blocking?

    Cheers herbs.

    - they tried bringing it in, realised they would loose about 75% of their customers, so another "great" scheme as managment saw it was killed just like that...
    - officially they dont want people to run servers of any kind, but talking to their techies (when you do get one on the phone, usually 2am job) they are fine with it, as they do the same thing...
    - cant say that any ports are locked, but if you got some specifics ill give it a go...just rember that if youre going to use ntl, never ever expect them to answer their phones, unless you try for 5hrs (dedication + phonebill) or ring them at a silly time of the night (staying up)...all in all they havent been bad in the last couple of quarters and with their so called "free" upgrades i say go ntl!

    Never have done to me, and i hammer it a lot...

    I run lots of servers, they've never complained. I think their T&C's say you can run them as long as they don't use too much bandwidth or affect other users....

    No

    1. Never been contacted about it.
    2. Don't think they're bothered unless you go crazy on bandwidth.
    3. Not that i've come across/know about.

    No limits, and you can run a server. I've never had any problems with their customer service myself.
