This is where 'tiered caps' will start to come into effect.

Assume the following were true for these new packages:

768kbps - 10GB
12/2Mbps - 40GB
16/2Mbps - 150GB
22/5Mbps - 250GB
50/10Mbps - 500GB

Same pricing... but capped. Now which would most pick ?
If I did more than 40GB a month and my overage penalty was more than $10 the 16/2 tier would be a better deal. In fact, they could add a $10 overage cap to the 12/2 tier. IOW: In any month that I exceed the 40GB cap, I will be charged the lesser of the overage fee or $10 and then be allowed to go up to 150GB. This is the best of both tiers for both sides since they only need to provision for 12 while getting the extra $10 that 16/2 costs. Those who need/want the extra 4Mbps download speed would go for the 16/2 tier while the 12/2 tier would get the extra 110GB when needed for the extra cost of the 16/2 tier.
