Ok you DO realize your situation is a minority case, right? I think data caps are horseshit, altho the 250gb caps that Comcast and AT&T have aren't absurd...it's pretty hard to hit that cap, even during a Steam sale.
So I'm guessing you live in a rural area, and have a small ISP that's raking you over the coals. That sucks, but you won't get a larger company to wire up your town (or god forbid you live way outside of a town). The cost will never, ever be recouped. And since everyone was too busy watching football or the Kardashians to bother complaining about deregulation, they aren't even required to PRETEND they care anymore.
If you do live in a small town, and you're IN TOWN, see about getting your representatives to pester Metronet. If there's enough interest in your town, you may be able to get them to wire up fiber to everyone's house. If your town is packed with old folks or hillbillies that don't care about that there inernet, you're fucked.

HoSpanky I would love to take your out of the suburbs and put you in the country. I would then precede to tell you your "fucked" and how I could care less about your ISP situation.

Thanks bro.
