Many care about pricing and service. What?? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT. Anyone who isnt an idiot knows that everyone in America is demanding 50Mbps home connections. I mean, we hear it everyday right on this website so it must be true! -- время индейки!

I bet 99% do not care about caps. Most people I know are value not technical oriented. A good example is my family. They are not dumb Ones an environmental chemist, one Register nurse, one physician assistant, I am the only one technical and know to maintain computers. They only care if the can connect to a network at any speed. Most are happy with dial-up.
To then a cap is something that place over a test tube or I.V catheter.

I was with you until you got to the "most are happy with dial up" part. I agree that most are happy with "slow" broadband (say a solid, reliable 768k/128k connection) but definitely not dialup.

I do a lot of side "IT" work, and the most common things I get are complaints about speed. They usually don't even know how to quantify what's slow, they're just impatient in general. On the network side, if you have a good low-latency 768k connection, the web generally performs well. Most web sites don't take advantage of faster connections. Not even "bandwidth intensive" sites like YouTube.

I really enjoy speed but I'd rather keep my unmetered 10/1 connection over a 50/50 metered to less than 150G/month. There aren't a ton of sites and applications that can utilize a pipe over 10mbps, and I prefer the convenience of not worrying about my data consumption.
