"They have to let me use it all the time" I do not see a judge going for it. If I had the money, I would sue any ISP with caps who also offers video services under the Sherman Anti-trust Act. I would argue that: #1) the "bandwidth crunch" isn't real. It isn't, BTW. Once that's been established, #2) the real reason bandwidth caps are in place is to keep subscribers from using alternative video services such as Netflix, Vudu, Amazon, Google TV, Apple TV, Roku, etc... We all know that this is what BW caps are really all about. The Sherman act isn't just about monopolies, it's about using your prevalent place in the market to stifle competition. That's exactly what the cable companies, AT&T, and Verizon are doing. They want to keep that captive customer base tuning in to their video services. Think of it as video "cock-blocking".

So, give it a shot. Call up a lawyer and see what your chances are. Make sure to record that call so we can hear how loud that lawyer laughs at you!!

Not Verizon as Verizon FiOS has no cap and video service.
