Same model applies to wireless though.

I wish someone would tell AT&T that. It's the reason I am dumping them as my home ISP since 150GB is a laughable amount to cap monthly data usage at (as are $10 overages for every 50GB you go over 150GB).

I wish I had that option. its either Uverse with a 250gb soft cap and 10 dollar overages OR Comcast's hard cap, where I go over 250 twice and they cut my service.

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but it is "Do" not "Due" away with data caps...

Just thought I would point that out if you want this to be taken seriously and go somewhere.

I hear you. I am used to double and triple checking what I write, because at work I catch so much heck for any mistake because I'm always doing everyone else's editing.
