but no one would pay $120/mo for 328MBPS DSL⁕ only for checking email.

So there's still incentive to make P2P seems a possibility.

Exactly this. I pay Comcast $200 / mo for 105mbit. In part because it's retardedly fast (I do get the advertised speed generally,) and in part because I don't ever want to think about bandwidth limits or any of the other measures they enforce on people who aren't shoveling over forkloads of cash. If either of those things change, I immediately downgrade.

Ouch, Charter only charges $82.99 a month (with modem rental) for 100Mbps. Around the same time they introduced 100Mbps service, they introduced bandwidth caps. (500 gb/month for 100mbit service). Bandwidth caps @charter are a 3 strike policy.

I can get charter business @~$200 a month which is 100mbit service (no download cap, guaranteed uptime). Are you on some sort of comcast business plan?

No, it's their highest bandwidth residential plan. Technically, I still have bandwidth caps (http://imageshar.es/4f675654998b758611000b60) but they don't enforce them.
