For some thoughts on caps....

Caps involving isp's on Iprovo and Utopia, including Mstar, was discussed in this news item last month...

»50Mbps Symmetrical For $39.95

It talks about 100GB caps being the only way these ISPs can "make the financials work".

I can not speak for the other providers, but Xmission (and MSTAR claims the same) which is on the Utopia lineup does not filter porn (outside of any legal requirements), unless you request it (a friend of mine had to request the filter due to a weakness in going that way almost wreaking his marriage is how I found out about it). Auto filters have too many generalizations that kill good stuff too indiscriminately to filter all lines, as I find out at work daily and I found out last year that I run a porn site myself with several other filters at different libraries (a weather station site?).

Actually, I do have to correct one thing, there are two providers I know of that do automatic filtering available here, they are run by two major churches. And for the whiners of freedom blah blah, people sign up for those ISPs for the freedom to NOT get random garbage, it is not forced on them.
