Bandwidth Cap
Bandwidth caps are a simple method of bandwidth control used by ISPs, which limits the amount of bandwidth (upload and/or download) a user may use within a certain time period. This method has been commonplace for years, and although not all people agree with a bandwidth cap there has been few debates about the practise as it is applied neutrally to all, based on the ISP one registers with. ISPs typically offer a pay per gigabyte option for use beyond the maximum bandwidth limit.
