You have to realize that the 250GB hardcap isn't forever. The cap will be increased over time. Why are you guys talking about the when HD streaming becomes mainstream in the future? When HD streaming becomes mainstream I can guarantee fiber will be widespread with large hard caps.

Chanur, don't think you know how much 250GB worth of data is a month. You've listed MMO and tube as your major use of bandwidth. If MMO takes too much bandwidth from your 250GB you gotta get out more. If you play 20 hours a week on two computers, it will only take about 5GB and 10GB for 40 hours a month. What are you doing with your other 240+GB worth of bandwidth? Youtube videos are such crappy quality it won't even dent your bandwidth. Unless you're Ham and Cheese and download FLACs all day long, you're fine.
