Re: Faster
Many foreign providers that I've seen offer much faster speeds at a much better price. I know in the UK in particular, broadband is not as popular as it is here, and companies have to slash prices pretty far to get buyers into the market.
I think the caps have proliferated as an attempt to get the "Joe AOL" customers, the guy who uses his broadband to get his e-mail and download Bonzi Buddy, and to discourage more sophisticated users from signing up who tend to use more of the bandwidth. The Joe AOL customers probably cost them a heck of a lot less in bandwidth, though perhaps a bit more in technical support cost.
