With the recent cap of 150GB in the US of A, Netflix is going to get a hit, no?

I believe that is only one company, At&T. I have verizon and as far as I know I dont have any sort of cap.

Yeah. I'm with Comcast and I have a 250GB cap. Considering that I occasionally torrent, play games online, operate four websites on the side (a lot of FTPing going on), AND Netflix almost every night and never get within 50GB of my 250GB limit, I'm pretty sure that 99% of residential users will be just fine.

Yea, I agree. I just read an article on it and At&T said the average monthly usage is around 18 gig a user.

if that is the case then why even put a cap

obviously they are hurting so they put the cap on
