I can only see isp's crack down further on bandwidth usage if it catches on :( I didn't have a bandwidth cap until too many people started (illegaly) downloading movies.

I think the bandwidth caps have more to do with isps also being content providers. With services like netflicks and hulu people are starting to cancel thier cable tv or/and not buying dvds. When they put the cap in place it keeps people relying on the monopolistic technologies that they control.

Yep now I think of it the cap came when my cable tv/internet provider started offering play on demand on cable. Not sure why they have to go that far, apart from the horrible slow menu system their play on demand is competitively priced, stable quality, and has a bigger selection with lots of free stuff.

It is effective in stopping netflix's fixed price for unlimited tv/movies deal though :(
