Fascinating. I wasn't aware I had a cap. Nor was I aware that the other cable companies, Shaw, Rogers, Videotron, and Telus, had caps. Some DSL providers have caps, but Bell Sympatico (1.5 Mb for regular, 3 Mb for pro package) does not have caps. They had caps last year for all of nine months when people decided to get rid of it and get cable. How fast they changed their tune.
Meanwhile, my cable company just raised my down speed to 7 Mb. I'm quite content with that for now. Of course, 26 Mb would be nice, but as it is right now I can get a 700 MB movie in just over 20 minutes from Usenet.
