Re: Look out...tiered pricing and monthly caps coming ! Exactly.
We all agree to not be capped, and they'll be forced to not cap us.
Backlash is a powerful weapon.
TW caps me, and raises the fees outrageously, they can kiss my money goodbye. And if Verizon pulls the same stunt, I'll do the same with them. |

Then where are you going to go? There are some Covad DSL resellers that might be available to you, but I fear these small alternative providers simply won't be able to handle the onslaught of traffic created by a sudden increase of disproportionately heavy users. They would be forced to implement something similar themselves. Covad has never been much of a price or performance leader in the residential sector anyway.
The Canadians have had a head start on bandwidth caps. Read through their forums and you can get a pretty good idea how quickly people can run out of choices even when they thought they had a few.

You can also read about how they have adjusted to them as best as they could, in order to make them work for there household. Granted there caps are usually higher than 40 - 60 gigs.
