You know we are all now talking about 'caps'. Once this was not an option, it was all about speed and the wonder of a permanent connection to the internet without the need to watch your phone bill. Slowly (at least in the UK) we are seeing the insidious rise of the 'cap'. Initial outrage of about 18 months ago has turned to .. "well maybe xxxgigs a month is ok/people who do xxxgig should be downgraded/I'll stay with a slow speed so i can download more" slowly we are going along with the whole notion of a cap philosophy when we should be howling with outrage and demanding that BT/NTL and the UK government give us a digital infrastructure that allows fast speeds and unlimited downloading of content of whatever form.

We are no longer watching the clock we are watching our router stats!!
