Cox: »ww2.cox.com//aboutus/policies/li···ons_0609 Updated recently for your viewing pleasure.. - caps are "restricted" based on plan. That doesn't mean that Cox is/has been actively enforcing those restrictions however. ATT - is/has been evaluating using caps: »/r0/download/1···tcap.png Whether or not it happens - (again there's that enforcement scenario) - is another question yet to be answered... And evidently Verizon (as do all/most other ISPs, I'm sure) also has that "vague" cap/limitation clause in their TOS to cover any scenarios where they can terminate service in the event of "abuse" of said service. Apparently - Comcast's current definition of "abuse" is when someone approaches 3x their allotted/defined cap. It'll be interesting to see how long Verizon holds out with regards to implementing caps. Not that it matters much to me as they're not available in my area anyway..
