"It's in your best interests that these practices are transparent, so you fully understand what kind of a broadband connection you're buying."

No, it's only in the best interests of the mega-bandwidth hogs. For the other 99% of users, it's better for that 1% to get their service cut than to know what the cap is.
Bandwidth hogs (read upstream hogs) are a problem. They should just get a business class already.
I have a business class connection and it doesn't make you immune. We have the same TOS that everyone else does. The only difference is that we can run servers and have no port restrictions, that's about it. If we had servers sending out the last video 24/7 at max Upload; Comcast would shut us down just as fast.

Not only that, you ride on the same wires that your residential neighbors use.

Pushing your neighbors who are heavier users to a "business class" connection doesn't solve anything for you. You share the same 38 Mbps node with all your neighbors -- business or otherwise.

If you're interested in this technology, look up DOCSIS in Wikipedia and read how Cable-Internet works. It will help you to understand the various issues.
