That's a total ripoff. Wireless data is useless with the insane latency.
The caps are generally 5 GB/mo and not 455 MB/mo. The 455 is the expected monthly average.

And unless you are gaming, the latency is irrelevant and has been improving with the 3G rollouts.

Umm, no its not. There are plenty of everyday applications which can be sensitive to latency especially once it goes past about 120ms.
