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.

So monsieur Kronas - people power didn't work, and caps are a fact of life really in some places. If they mean faster speeds I'm all in favour to be honest.
