Re: Thanks for the article Karl.

Glad to see this is getting some press.

I'm not a very popular person regarding this subject as I still haven't found (IMO) a reasonable, non-illegal use for 300GB/mo. That's 50GB higher than Comcast's caps too.

The issue, as an anonymous user on the Wave forum points out, is with the slower tiers. I'm at the 6mbps/1mbps plan, which comes with a 50GB/mo. cap. That's tiny.
if you need more bandwidth then move to a higher tier. Which I think is the whole point of what they are doing.

The caps on the lower tiers are disproportionate to the cap on the highest tier.

At 6mbps, going through 50GB with 100% legitimate and non-excessive use is pretty easy... A 154 minute HD movie from netflix (at the highest bit rate) is ~4.19GB. At 3800kbps, that's only 2/3rds of the provisioned rate and only for a short amount of time. 10 movies over the course of 30 days combined with actual http traffic... that's really not much at all.
