I couldn't agree more. The problem with all these huge companies is that greed permeates from the top executives down to the business practices they implement. Stop paying execs millions of dollars and reinvest that money in the company and suddenly a smaller, reasonable service charge to the customer can make the company profitable. And guess what, the first company to do that wins, because everyone will move to use that service.
Problem is that US telcos have received plenty of gov't. subsidies in the past for the specific purpose of expanding and building their infrastructure and the money has been wasted and not utilized for the purpose in which it was intended.
Seriously? The day I set up my HTPC I downloaded an 80 and a 60 gb torrent (one was 4 seasons of Stargate Atlantis, can't remember the other). There is no way you are downloading games, HD movies, and a couple of TV seasons and not going over 60 GB. If you maintain that you are, you must be getting the most compressed, crappiest looking video possible. I am with ImYourVirus, a reasonable cap must be several hundred GB in size.
