I doubt it will work, and I certainly won't be an early adopter. But I am prepared to fully embrace it if it is good. I think Comcast would have me capped at about 12 hours of HD gaming per month, which just isn't going to work for me.

That's rather interesting and I hadn't thought much about it. At 5 Mbits/s, this will consume around 2.2 GB per hour of data for "HD" (720p with video compression) gaming. What's the typical traffic cap for USA ISPs?

 

in my area - 250 Gb cap with an option to by at $15 for each additional 10Gb.

250 Gb per month/2.2 Gb per hour = 113.6 hours per month = ~3.8 hours per day

...but i should note the cap is higher in my area than most.  some areas are as low as 60 Gb caps.

60/2.2 = 27.3 hours per month = <1 hour a day.
