Re: Thanks for the article Karl.

Well, personally, I'd rather manage BW usage and be able to burst download files or stream a movie than be waiting forever and a day for something to download even if it wasn't capped.

But, my internet is paid for by my company as I am on-call pretty much 24x7x365 for our eCommerce business, so I might just have to get upgraded to the 10mb package... I think 100GB is probably doable, but I'd much prefer the 18/2 :P

Personally, I'd rather have uncapped speeds and different tiers depending on how much data is consumed. Sure, it'd lead to slowdoowns during peak times, but then the people who want fast connections download at other times, and maybe the providere subsidizes non-peak GBs.

At any rate, I'm not a fan of a low-BW (anything below 5 Mbps down and 1 up, preferably 20/20) "all you can eat" connection as opposed to a high-power capped connection with reasonable overages (50 cents per gig is *shrugs* reasonable in light of what some other providers are trying to pull) and a slightly smaller "cap" relative to the price of an uncapped line that would take 24x7 downloading to pull the same thing.
