[...] Time Warner Cable, AT&T, PlusNet in the UK and most other UK broadband providers are experimenting or have implemented caps or consumption-based plans as a way to boost their revenue from providing the pipe. The pipe is still dumb, but different pricing plans mean that carriers can make more money off of them. Benefits of this to the ISP are higher revenues (and presumably profits).
