Greedy cable ISPs have begun instituting plans to charge for gigabytes downloaded. Comcast, a major cable ISP in the US, has hinted that they are soon to adopt such a system. Users of Comcast have already faced crippling upload and download speed caps, capping the _amount_ of data you download/upload is next. This bait and switch attitude Comcast is exhibiting has to stop.

Dear Comcast,
If you implement "bit caps", which limit subscribers to X number gigabytes uploaded and X number GB download each month, I will terminate my service contract with you and find another Internet Service Provider.
Sincerly,
Comcast High Speed Internet Customer
