Re: So they won't need caps then right? Right...
As much as that may be true. There are a few reasons that caps will be implemented:
1. Profit - This is a way to make more money off your package w/o increasing the monthly price at the sticker level.
2. Control - This can/will keep traffic in check for the average user, as unlimited is now 'gone'. Methods such as this can also keep costs in check by adjusting overage charges as needed (there is no contract on cable).
3. Easy method to get less profitable customers off the base tiers and have them spend money. Eg. On a 3Mbps connection, I can still use +1TB/month if needed. Putting a paltry 40GB cap on a 3Mbps connection will have most customers jumping to higher connections just to avoid overage charges.
