Cable isn't capped.

If you are in the top 3% of downloaders or uploaders (torrenters, I'm looking at you, err ... us ... here) during peak hours, you may be throttled, but not capped.

I'm on a 20Mb connection, and haven't ever been throttled yet, but the way it works is that if I downloaded more than 6gb between 4pm and 9pm, my account would be throttled back to 5Mb, for 5 hours. You can continue downloading or surfing or streaming at 5Mb.

ADSL caps work differently - download your 8Mb in a month, anything over that is stopped.
