... the users who violate those caps face being throttled to below dial up speeds (between 7 and 14kbps)...
According to the story, once you hit the cap and get FAP'd you're better off on Dial-up anyway. Most average 28-45 kbps on dialup which is already 2-4 times faster then their FAP. Unless they meant k
Bps.
But then it comes down to comparing $30 a month for dial-up vs $200+ for damn near the same thing after 7 hours of use. (Obviously more if the connection isn't utilized heavily. See: 1 pc vs a household of 4+ all on the net at the same time)
The cap is 24 hours. So if you excedd 300 MB in any 24 hour period you get throtled down to that slow speed until your 24 average hits 70% of that cap. The $200 tier is 500 MB per day not 300 MB. Still sucky though. Supposedly anything you download from 3 AM-6 AM is not counted towards your cap.
