To clarify, all Internet connections ALREADY HAVE BANDWIDTH CAPS. It's just simple math; a 1.5Mbps connection will max out at approximately 400GB+ month. No matter how a 1.5Mbps connection user chooses to abuse this connection, his cap is there. My main peeve is with ISPs throwing out big numbers when it comes to bandwidth 10Mbps, 8Mbps, 11Mbps, and then applying a data cap that could easily be hit by a connection that is 10% of their advertised speed. If you are unable to support those speeds, don't market them.

Hey guys, I'm selling a Ferrari here... but you can only drive it 200 km a month, otherwise it turns into a Kancil. You still pay for a Ferrari though!!!

That is my opinion of a secondary data cap.

exentric_nova, you're missing the point here; what really matters is that the consumer gets the high bandwidth of speed and quality. All these "4G" hype are nothing but marketing buzzwords thrown around by Telcos to window-dress and prep up their new services. Just IMO.

If you can remember not to long ago, izzi.net ( the folks from Penang ) were already trumpeting "4G" with their proprietary Kyocera solution.

For that matter, there is really no official definition of whats "3G" either. The proper term as accepted by ITU and GSMA/3GPP would be "W-CDMA" or "UMTS", as compared to  (Qualcomm's) IS-95, CDMA2000 and its EV-DO revisions, etc etc  and other similar standards.

But in any case, if debates on whats 4G or whats not makes you happy, by all means, please carry on. I sometimes do enjoy a good bowl of alphabet soup as well. But at the end of the day, I'd go for the real "Mbps" over anything, any day.

So basically if I sell you a Ferrari that turns into a Kancil after 200km you have no issues? Next time you go shopping for a car or house contact me... I'll definitely have good deals for you.

You need a dictionary for every word I said?

I equated multiple caps to multiple limitations. Example in terms you "might" understand:

(1) Petrol - Yes, YOU came up with this
(2) kilometers traveled - This is mine

So, I sell you a Ferrari. With 20 liters (20GB) worth of petrol which will take you 200km. After 20 liters are finished, the Ferrari turns into a Kancil which can only do 80km/h.

If you buy another 20 liters of petrol, the Ferrari remains a Kancil until the end of the month regardless whether or not you want to drive it around (fill more petrol) before magically turning back into a Ferrari.

I hope I didn't use any big words to confuse you.

Would love to see them offer a package same as what other telcos are doing (XXGB quota, throttle down speed after exceed)

Don't really want to bother thinking of how much is charged every time i use it
