I switched away from Comcast over to Verizon because Comcast has a 250 GB cap (even if you're paying for their 50/10 service), and Verizon doesn't cap you. At 50 Mbit down from Comcast I could use up my entire monthly allowance in just over 11 hours (without any upstream, math may be suspect it's early). That seems crazy to me. Vote with your dollars (if you're lucky enough to have options) and let them know that caps aren't a good thing.

I wish that was an option for quite a few people. Verizon doesn't really cover a lot of places and they don't plan to expand their services in the near future

e.g. here in Boston, they provide services in the suburbs but not in the city {i tried getting their service at 2 apartments but got the same answer both times that they don't service the area and the only available product was their DSL service}.
