A 5 gb cap is nothing.

Let me figure something out. Lets say you have three PCs in your house, and for each of them download McAfee's SuperDat virus updates when they come out on each computer. These updates are now over 100 mb, and seem to be coming out 20 times a month. 20 times 100 mb times 3 computer equals 6 gb. You've used up more than your monthly allowance on these updates alone, without even getting to check your e-mail once or reading any news on CNN.com. Forget about even watching one grainy video on YouTube. There are ways to reduce these downloads (just downloading the DATs without the scan engine once and then sharing the same download with the other PCs). But if you do it the quick and dirty way, you're screwed. Of course, with a 5 or even a 100 gb cap, you're screwed anyway.

DSLExtreme or Covad are looking pretty good right now. AT&T and TWC can, again, go down on themselves.
