This is certainly true for me. I got Broadband for faster browsing and a reliable connection, plus fast downloads on the odd occasion I need it (most often just my Mac OS software updates).

I have never been a high bandwidth user and would happily contemplate moving to a service whose cap is offered as a selling point rather than buried in the AUP. This is IMHO a far more honest way of capping a service rather than implying it's unlimited and then slapping on the restrictions.
