Verizon/ATT data cap on fast Internet service

[ultraport]

Putting an expensive data cap on fast wireless Internet service
reminds me of George Carlin's quip about "JUMBO SHRIMP". Besides maybe
doctors/lawyers, is that going to appeal to little old ladies from
Pasadena?

"With our ultra fast Hotspot, reach your data cap in a flash!"

I understand limiting usage, but the (Verizon/ATT) combo of super fast
wireless with very high overage charges seems strange.

Seems like they are trying to maximize their revenues given their
bandwidth. Pay more or get less or both.

"At top LTE download speeds, it takes about an hour to exhaust the
monthly allotment of 5 gigabytes [for $50]. Like Verizon, AT&T charges
$10 per gigabyte used above that."
