I'm sorry but...

why? If you are going to majorly cap it what does 50Mbit get you? besides kicked off 10x faster? Sure you can download that 10MB file so in 3 seconds... but how many people seriouslu would buy 50Mbit connections for "casual" usage when it costs that much?

I don't think the plan was really created for "casual" users. In my case I work from home a few days a month, and it will be really nice to have these speeds for pulling down large Visio diagrams and network traffic captures for analysis.

My current usage is pretty light:


I don't expect that my traffic usage will deviate much with the 50/5 service; I'll just be able to spend less time waiting for things to transfer.
