Avoiding being capped is very simple and can be achieved by..

Not downloading more than the published amounts per timeslot
or
Upgrading to a product that has a more generous allowance or for 50 and up none at all.

The alternative to the caps would be lots more widespread congestion than there is right now or higher prices. I suspect many take the higher speed products as much to escape the STM as to get the higher speeds. That's why the snotty letters about detrimental use of the service got so many adverse comments - if you can't download want you want when you want you may as well stick on 10Mbps yet VM were quite happy to take extra cash but still demand you don't take advantage of the lack of STM.
