Exactly... You don't see any reference to any sort of bandwidth heavy app on here. Forget HD, even streaming basic apps would blow this out of the water.
I Fedora Core 6 ISO = 3.4 GB

What I don't get, it why do I need caps on the lower end rates ? Ultra lite requiring a 2GB cap ?

It's to make it so unattractive, that the user will upgrade to the next tier up.

You forget that Ted owns Rogers Video. He wants you to go rent that movie from his Rogers Video store.
