It will not last. Sympatico DSL introduced a cap last year sometime and like half their users switched to other DSL providers or cable. They probably got worried sick so as of August this year they removed the cap AND upped the speed from 1 Mbit to 1.5 Mbit.

The other cable company in this area is Rogers, which has no cap whatsoever.

The other cable company, Cogeco, offers 3 Mbit standard and 5 Mbit Pro packages has a soft cap of 30 GB a month, but they've never enforced it and according to them it is just for legal reasons.

The other cable company, Shaw, offers 8 Mbit standard and has no cap either.

I don't think there are caps in Canada anymore. They tried it, and people left for competitor's products. I'd wager the same will happen in the United States.
