For the most part thats true. However, IE simply became the better browser. It has better rendering, displaying and such, while IE was improving, Netscapae was just getting bigger. And the fact that it happened to come with the os made the whole deal sweeter. People usually use whatever works easiest, fastest best. People are going to realize the limitations of the intergated software and find something else.
Most @home users have the 16k cap, however older less populated regions usually have around a 80 k cap. The newer your cable is sometimes effects the cap also, the cable system in my county has just been upgraded to the two-way cable (one-way (dialup) cable has been avaible for at least 2 years now) and I have gotten speeds of 160 k\sec upload before... however, I don't know how long my joy ride is going to last until they cap me.
