Same service for years, then CC suddenly imposed the cap

That's right. When a problem arises, instead of working toward making things better, one should just move away. Great suggestion, thanks, will keep it in mind if roads get worse, crime appears or maybe the grass dies out.
That happens every day and people do. If the location cannot support the level if investment, who should pay for it?
I pay for services and paid for the same level for many years. Suddenly CC decided that I should be allowed to use only 250 GB. The "investment" was already made. This is about artificial scarcity and fighting against emerging competing video services.

Many flaws in your logic. 1) I expect your service speeds and usage patters are different they were many years ago. 2) your belief that there was a one time "investment" vs the fact that networks are constantly upgraded to keep up with growth. 3) your belief that broadband is an entitled service vs a business offering 4) Comcast always had a cap (albeit invisible) and only recently was required to publish the 250G number.
