This has been manufactured to do 2 things:
1. Generate revenue (duh) by either charging for overages, or by having people 'fear' the cap, and move to a higher tier.
This is similar to a voice plan on a cell phone.

2. End of the all you can eat methodology of bandwidth - all must suffer. These companies don't want you to replace their TV service with an online competitor.
They're guilty on BOTH counts.
