Yes, there are plenty.. but not 250GB a month of them. What, are you downloading the Linux distro over and over just for fun?

This is going to 'negatively' impact a tiny fraction of people. It's going to benefit a lot more.

3 people sharing a connection at 2.77GB a day is a full game warez release every 3 days. It's a full DVD every day-day and a half. It's 4 DVD rips a day.

It really is plenty. It's a lot more than they could do, that's for sure.

Does it suck? Yes. Being rationed or limited on something you are used to abusing limitlessly sucks. But people will deal with it. You could always go to DSL.. and not even be able to download 250GB in a month if you tried.
