$50 Price point

I think metering is a good thing, IF AND ONLY IF it is applied only to price points below $50. If cable providers wants to compete against cheap DSL plans with a 10GB capped plan or something, the more power to them. And if they want to cap and throttle D2 modems to push people onto D3, I'll buy a D3 modem. Fine. The $50 price points and up should be unlimited, however. I'm kind of torn on Comcast's approach, as I am the only one in the house who uses a lot of bandwidth, so it's a non-issue, but fundamentally I believe Comcast should support unlimited downloads for people who have D3 modems.

I have no issue paying legitimately to support the network for what I use, but when it turns into a game of ripping people off, then it's not OK. And I think the $50 price point with a user-owned D3 modem is where the line is there.
