They need a cap, maybe, but they need education and some methods of control. There are some tools for control now, some tools for control that the IETF is talking about. Let them use bandwidth, but let them use it in ways that won't interfere with the neighborhood and is fair to the ISP.

ISPs need to put away the scarcity and the scare tactics and become part of the Internet community -- one that looks at consumers and service providers not as money-sources and competitors, but as partners.

While I mostly agree with you, what they need to do is be honest and put into place "useful" tools.

One that might be of some benefit is a tool this very site uses. In the upper right corner, there is a meter that shows the load of the site. If ISPs had some sort of tool that showed the load of the local node, AND WAS HONEST ABOUT IT, then people might be a little more cognitive of their usage.
