Like I said, I don't think that the bandwidth is the problem. I think the caps are the problem. Knowing what I know about networking, backbones, NAP'ss/MAE's and peering arrangements (remember, I used to be a Senior Network Engineer and worked in Silicon Valley for a couple of large ISP's that provided Internet service to the entire US, Canada and Japan when they existed). I know the technical limitations aren't the problem--it's based purely on business case and placation to certain other industries that don't like dumb-pipe Internet providers.
