<quote>The cable operator said on Thursday that it will no longer cut
off users who exceed 250GB of data usage per month. Instead, the company
is testing a new policy in which it will increase the usage cap to 300GB
of data per month. And for those who do go over the cap, the company
will charge an additional $10 per 50GB of usage. David Cohen, executive
vice president for Comcast, said the company has no intention to raise
prices on its existing tiers of service. </quote>

So - even if I'm hit by $20/month overage - it will be cheaper AND
faster even AFTER the 12 month rate is gone.
