I live in one of the areas with the caps and this is how it plays out:
1. I tell my wife to stop playing so many movies on netflix.
2. I stopped watching youtube or other video services unless I really, really want to see something.
3. I watch my internet usage and choose when to use it.
4. I cancelled Hulu.
5. I grow suspicious of my neighbors when my usage seems high as there is no breakdown of where usage comes from.
6. I suspect comcast's own services are not counted towards the meter, but can't prove anything.
7. I stopped playing so many games.
8. I now strategize my downloads.
There is no real other choice in my area -- the closest competitor to Comcast offers less than half the speed and only advertises for 1/4 the speed.
In my opinion, as someone affected by this, it's just a way to squeeze the customer more and maintain a monopoly on content.
