Maybe it just comes to down to what is reasonable, no I don't download 1 gig a day, far from it most days, but with E3 (as an example) for the best part of a fortnight I downloaded more than a gig a day, I just think 1 gig as a cap is too low these days, file sizes have moved on, and will continue to do so, NTL even seem to partly recognise this with their increase in speeds across the board, presumably to keep match with current download habits and their competitors.

I think AOL are a much more forward looking company in this regard, here is a quote from a recent AOL UK Press release:

"Our in-depth research shows that very few consumers have any idea or interest in what a one or two Gigabyte (GB) capacity imposed by some providers actually means in terms of usage. In fact, many AOL Broadband members already use a total of more than 1GB of data each month and this is likely to increase as additional broadband features and content are introduced. This demonstrates the real comparative value of broadband services that have no usage limits."

They were comparing the much more restrictive 1 gig a *month* restriction of some low cost DSL offerings but the message is the same - basically - 'content will grow and we know this.'

Just my view...
