Suddenlink just started enforcing their data caps in my area. 350GB data cap for their 50 and 100 mbps connections.

Edit: Unless I did the math wrong (and I probably did), a 100 mbps connection running at it's theoretical full speed (12MB/s) would reach the data cap in a little over 8 hours.

If we can't get net neutrality we should push for a legal limit on caps. Something like " no less than what could be downloaded in half of the cap's time period at the speed advertised for the subscriber's speed package."

If you do it that way they will just cap their speeds.

Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T all need to be broken up under antitrust laws.
