There is no escaping it, this is the shape of things to come (sorry Nugget).

How many ISPs capped users before NTL?

Going to another ISP is just delaying the inevitable.

The future of the internet is corporate control.

I'm all for websites like this and the EFF, but users stamping their feet didn't change ISPs capping policy. At the end of the day there are only a relatively small number of subscribers that know what caching, capping and shaping is all about. The majority only care about being able to access content and price.
