Actually a number of european countries have had a metered service for quite some time now. Australia is also notoriously bad. It would really suck if US based ISPs got even more greedy and went down this path but it honostly wouldnt surprise me in the least.

If you want the best ISPs go to Korea. Their service kicks ass.

Yeah, I should've made my statement a bit more clear, compared to certain countries (my bad!). I have a few buddies in England and two in Australia, and they're wayyy more screwed on internet than we are over here in North America.

You guys have had it easy in the US..
here in AU those metered / capped plans have been the norm since day one (back in 14.4kb/ps) days.

not to mention of feeble speeds compared to yours
