Both of those statements ( caps and Overages) are what you will see in the next wave of Verizon commercial adds when Comcast ( and you know they will) start running adds that there the fastest internet provider.

Also Verizon will just kick it up a few nickels (to 320 mbps) a month or so after the comcast roll out is up and complain to the FCC if Comcast tries to run adds that there the fastest.

Only if cap remains. I doubt it will. This will be a premium service, like a business acct, and will most likely not have a cap. It will also be priced that way.

DONT' COUNT ON THAT, You have seemed to forget comcast has business class service and that is there ONLY service that is not capped, currently Business class cost $370 per month for 100/10 mbps unthrottled/uncapped. So you can bet your ass 305 mbps for $300 (as its been announced it will cost) will be capped and maybe throttled, If not current Business class customers would switch over in a heart beat, now they may raise the cap ( to 300-400 GB) but it will be there !

I'd hope so, but ISP competition is barely perceptible. Also Verizon probably won't say anything so that it can leave open the possibility of metering in the future
