Mac Fans Lament Broadband Meters
And in particular the low caps, high overages of Sunflower broadband

Over at the Apple blog, Dave Greenbaum laments the rise in frequently unreasonable caps and meters in an age of increasing bandwidth use, and hopes Apple gets involved in the debate in order to protect its "brand." Greenbaum's particularly annoyed with his ISP in Lawrence, Kansas, Sunflower broadband, who imposes monthly caps as low as 3GB a month with overages as high as $2.00 per gigabyte. At their website, Sunflower defends the practice by saying that 49.46% of their customers use less than 1 GBs of bandwidth a month, and 86.98% use less than 10GB. Or at least that was the case in 2007, the year Sunflower is pulling their statistics from.
