Nice, but hard caps.

Great speeds and all, but 50GB both ways?

50GB = 51 200 MB
50Mbps = 6.25 MBps

51 200 / 6.25 MBps = 8192 s = 136.5 min = 2 hours 16 minutes

Yes, you could argue who has 50gigs of data to download in a month, and some might say that they run/test that many Linux Distros. But what's the point of that speed then?

This seems like a 'who's got the biggest balls' game. The people who don't download large amounts of media who won't go near this cap would be happy surfing their sites and checking their mail with a 10Mb connection such that they'll never see any hickups.

For $80/month i would expect at least 100GB if not more. Cap the damn upload if you have to, not the upload. Oh wait, it's already a 50/1 ratio. That's capped enough.
