i don’t know. i think the whole thing’s a ruse.
the day isps start selling movies is the day they'll stop talking about bandwidth caps. i don’t think it’s got anything to do with "hogging" and everything to do with content sales.
cable companies want money for both transfers and for programs, just like they have now with tv, like basic + hbo + pay-per-view.
the idea that the customer provides his own content independent of the company is anathema to their past way of doing tv business and they will do whatever it takes to stop it, including justifying capping with this bs pr campaign.
don't buy into their self-serving arguments. they sell you 10/1 or 1500/128 and that's what you should get.
docsis 2.0 allows carriers to
triple capacity without adding another wire, and that's just for starters.
if enough people cancel when capped then capping will go the way of the altair.
