You're correct in your representation of the differences in the model, but I'm not sure anyone really wants the utility model. They might think they do, but they haven't done the math.

If Comcast has built a business around a 250 GB/month cap, they'd have to throttle your connection to 783 kbps to keep you under that cap (assuming you used your maximum connection all the time).
