Welcome to Australia where there have always been caps - partially because we download so much content from the USA that someone has to pay for the fibre under the ocean to carry it all to us. Caps do change consumer behaviour a lot, but that said the caps are getting generous enough these days to not be too restrictive. If you shop around you can get a Terabyte a month for a reasonable price and can only use that amount by streaming video content. Part of what aussie ISP's do now is offer steaming content free if you are their customer. iiNet does this with its Fetch-TV service, and also has unmetered access to iTunes, ABC iView and gaming content.
