Reply #90: Curious. Here in Australia, all the majors are ending the caps . . .

That have been in place since broadband started getting big, because their customers are screaming bloody murder and deserting providers who don't remove caps or increase the allocation substantially. My provider spontaneously upped me from 50GB monthly to 1,000GB (a terabyte) -- which means effectively unlimited.

The rates are still quite high (I pay the equivalent of $130/month for my home connection, but it also includes free phone throughout Australia to non-mobile numbers), but the prices haven't gone up (down, actually) as the relaxed caps have come into service.

An example of competition working?
