Some telcos/Cable peeps are thinking or have already capped transfer/month rates. Don't let your file sharing habbits ruin everyone's good time. You don't need to download 10 movies a day!

Now many of the biggest high-speed ISPs are considering capping the amount of bandwidth that their subscribers can use per month, a move that could undermine subscribers' free swapping ways--something that many lawsuits have not yet been able to achieve. If people know they have a limited amount of bandwidth available, the thinking goes, they'll be less likely to download voraciously or allow people to upload songs and music from their computers.
