Should the cable broadband providers ever succeed in getting metered/capped service passed in major markets Verizon will definitely follow their lead.
Thus the importance in fighting metered/capped service anywhere... |

No. They'll be oversubscribing just like every other provider does. Right now, utilization probably isn't much of an issue because they have a relatively new service that the vast majority of eligible households aren't subscribing to. Even with those that are, most aren't going to be using that much bandwidth- broadband video is still in it's infancy.
As utilization per user continues to increase (and it increases substantially every year), and as they gain more subscribers who on average use more bandwidth, it's almost a given that they'll have to implement some sort cap at some point in the future.
Even fiber can support only a finite number of 50M connections at once. |

So much bandwidth that all user connected at 50 to 100mbps will see no slowdown or congestion regardless of how much you use
Ain't that the beauty of better technology
