I could be wrong on this, but is it just the people who download masses of HD pirated shows and films who complain about capping, and people who have normal usage requirments aren't even aware of being capped?

I am on XL BB and the only reason that I stayed in 20meg was that I had a rock solid modem and was reluctant to swap to the Superhub, which initially had a bad reputation. 20 meg was fine for me (even when capped) until Netflix introduced SuperHD a month or so ago, and so I swapped the modem. I now have the service level that meets my needs, even when capped.
