Every time this issue comes up, somebody mentions Comcast and their data caps. But, to the best of my knowledge, most Americans do not have a data cap. I certainly don't. None of the wired ISPs that serve my area have caps (at least, not as of ~18 months ago, when I last shopped for service).

Do you have data to back up this claim?  I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd like to see the evidence. In my experience, data caps are a rarity.

That's a story about Comcast data caps.  I know that data caps exist.  I'm skeptical of your claim that most Americans are subject to caps.  From what I've seen, most wired broadband customers do not have a cap.  I'm gonna do a little Googling and see what I can find.
