Cable's topology lends itself to costly bottlenecks in the field so they cap or have tons of trouble when they try to offer their dense subscriber areas 10Mb+ service.
That's a little harsh! I prefer to think of their subscribers as misinformed or perhaps ignorant

Pretty certain as they haven't done it with DSL. It seems to me ISPs cap because of bottlenecks, not overall traffic at the headend.

I agree, nothing can beat FIOS.
Considering FIOS is new and does still ultimately cost money to run, how certain is everyone that Verizon will not be capping their users?
