Re: Maybe
If they give me less bandwidth... I might just be inclined to not use the Internet at all, and not have to pay for their service.

NO, NO, NO!
Don't you get what they're saying? They're saying the LESS Internet bandwidth we give you, the MORE you'll appreciate the bandwidth you DO have! Thus, a better experience.
Besides, you spend too much time on the computer anyway-if we give you less bandwidth, then you'll have more time to read a book, or go outside, or spend with your kids-thus a better experience! |

Personally... I think they need to scale by a factor of 10.
50GB/100GB/200GB/400GB
Lets make at least an assumption or 2 here to show the use/cap ratio:
Road Runner Basic
Speed: 1.5M x 384K
Basic Tier – 10GB 1.5Mbps = 192kB/second = 474GB/month (30 day). 10:474 = ~ 2.1% usage, not including upload
Road Runner Standard
Speed: 6M x512K
Standard Tier – 20GB = 768KB/second = 1898GB/month (30 day). 20:1898 = 1% usage
Road Runner Turbo
Speed: 10M x 1M*
Turbo Tier – 40GB = 1280 KB/second = 3164GB/month (30 day) 40:3164 = 1.2% usage.
Personally.. I'd expect no less than at 10% usage cap, and would 'push' for 33%.
