> can you also tell me why the 98% of people who pay for U-Verse should have to pay for that level of service, which they will never come close to using

They are now effectively paying the exact same amount for a reduced level of (potential) service. Unless you're willing to speculate that this will eventually lower costs for the 98% (doubt it, are Comcast's users better off?), there is no gain for any end user in this scenario.

In what way is their service reduced? Nobody who isn't torrenting is going to come anywhere close to this cap. It's 250 hours of streaming HD video.

As pointed out by various users above, you're simply wrong. This will not only cap pirates.
