Re: This is pitiful

There is NOTHING REASONABLE about any cap whatsoever, especially not a 250 GB cap.

Caps DO NOT MANAGE NETWORK CONGESTION that may or may not occur during peak hours.

Bandwidth is insanely cheap for the large incumbents. We're talking about $1/person/month. Every network is created based on the idea of oversubscription. So even if one person "abuses" the network, there will be another one or two who almost never uses it.

All you need to do is look at countries with competitive industries. The ISPs there DO NOT HAVE CAPS, and wouldn't dare instituting them for fear of losing customers to their competition.
