"Yes, we'll sell you a nice fast internet connection: just one catch: you aren't allowed to use it."
Which is fine if all you want to do is brag about how phat your pipe is down the pub, but not if you actually want to use it to do anything.

OK, I'm still not getting this. What do you actually mean by "capping"?

'Capping' is a preset limit to the amount of data you can download in a given period. In the case of my ISP take a look at:-
John.
AOL Silver is genuinely unlimited 1Mb for £17.99. I use AOL Gold which is
2Mb for $24.99. Slight catch is you need an alternate server to connect to Usenet. I've noticed some slowdown during peak business hours but so far have had no complaints from AOL either about the amount or the nature of the files I download which total several gigabytes per day.(kim)
OK, now I get it. I thought you might have meant the amount of data downloaded in an hour, or a day, or whatever.
Well, my ISP offers different monthly capacities. You pays your money and you buys what you need. I bought 2 GB. If I go over in a month, there is no cap, but there is a small charge per GB that I go over. I'm not sure why you feel this is a problem, or unfair in some way?
Cheers, Steve
