No mention of a cap?

»corp.sonic.net/ceo/2011/12/02/web-hogs/

How come Sonic can offer service without caps but others (ahem Comcast/AT&T) can't?

Because they care more about being competitive and not being a douche company than appeasing shareholders (which they dont have because they arent a public company anyway)

Not exactly.
The reason they don't have caps, is that they don't sell a real pay-tv product.

Doubtful Dane could scale his fiber offering beyond a few select, dare I say elite neighborhoods, in time to be relevant for the rest of us, without an IPO or a Google acquisition.

(We're still waiting, with baited breath, for the UNE-P Fusion copper product in Socal, and ANY offering in Verizon territory.)

I will admit in same cases it is tied to TV, but there are also many cases it isnt. Verizon Fios & cablevision both offer tv yet have no cap on their TV offering. Fios being a fiber offering and also selling TV, why in your opinion dont they have caps?
AT&T has a fairly small TV offering, yet has caps even in slow 6mb dsl non uverse markets. Why? Because they can and its all about lack of investment and more profit.

With money being cheap right now to borrow i see no better time to start something like this. Obviously they where able to get loan approval or investors so either they would have had to get a crazy good interest rate or a good deal from investors looking for a place to put their money since obviously they wont make anything on it in the bank right now because hell our savings is like .96% or something like that.
