What I love is their statements that "only 1%" of users are affected by the cap. If "only 1%" of your end-users have the ability to disrupt your network, there's something seriously wrong with your network.

That, and the 250GB cap hasn't changed since 2008. In the meantime I can now fit 250GB into less than 1 cubic cm for around $150.

That's not fair. As a group, 1% of Internet users can DDOS anyone.

Fair point. Difference here though is that the 1% is not coordinating in an attempt to disrupt network communications, but rather using bandwidth to their definition of "normal". If you want to do daily online backups for a household, plus HD video streaming (what I would call "normal" behavior), you can hit several TB pretty quickly.
