Re: [Caps] Extreme 105 vs 250 Cap Residential in 2011 said by manbeard:the advanced consumer who happens to be ahead of the curve and uses their connection for all that streaming/downloading we'll all started doing (netflix, hulu, vudu, google tv, itunes...).
Well, we've gone around this block several times as well. You can stream 5 hours of HD material a day and stay under the cap. You could argue more than that is still very atypical for the average user. And when it actually does become the average user, the cap will move up (and/or prices will change, or tiered plans will arrive, or the apocalypse will happen.)
Currently Comcast packages/prices on the residential side are all about speed, while on the Business side the significant LEAPs in cost as you move up speed tiers reflect the priced-in expectation of much higher usage associated with the higher speeds. Hence the $300/mo additional cost for 100Mb vs 12 Mb business class. If it were residential, it would cost 2x as much as 12mb, not 5X as much.
