| Update to my review I have had a few really busy days building systems lately and I know I have downloaded far more than the Cableone daily cap for my account for each of the last few days. I've yet to get capped, and there is nothing in the TOS about being charged for going over. So, my assumption on their policy is that they use it only to stop those who routinely do a lot a lot of file sharing or other very high bandwidth activity.
My cap is at 1250 MB a day, measured between 2pm and midnight. I know I downloaded at least 2 gigs doing installs during that time period on a couple of days this week, and my connection didn't slow in the least.
If my assumption is correct Cableone doesn't set really hard caps. They give you some leeway and only cap you if you abuse their rules. An occasional overrun doesn't seem to get you capped.
