In actual fact, not imposing dl cap is the backdated/zaman tok kaduk idea. All developed countries, ie. US, UK, Australia, Singapore all have caps on their connections. This is to ensure that the bandwidth is fairly distributed to the customers based on how much they pay for the service. Otherwise you will have a small minority hogging the majority of the bandwidth.
Of course, in Malaysia we do pay alot more compared to overseas, but thats an argument for another time.
Yes is true in malaysia our provider pay a lot more in term of bandwidth exchange... but giving excuses for the apparent lack of local content should not be translated as cost (and transferred to customer)...
Historically, when internet connectivity first arrive, ISP charge customers with metered usage and when technology became more advanced, ISP start promoting the 'unlimited' usage... and now with all the streaming content made possible (along with more devices able to connect to internet) the ISP want to revert back to metered use but with different term (they call it multi-tiered pricing structure)... that is why this method is backdated...

Not true, all the developed countries are moving away from caps(except US and Canada)and maybe only got traffic management.Read my post a few page back for the article at stopthecap.com.
Even this

I rest my case...

Many user oriented ISP opted to use traffic management (esp on heavy p2p traffic) instead of bandwidth capping...
