Interesting.. this cap is probably going to impact users of IPTV services and DirecTV on Demand (if they use Comcast cable modem service).
The price seems a bit steep for the service. Maybe they should tinker with the pricing of data rates to off set this issue. My data rates have been extremely fast over the past year. I went from 6Mbps to 10+Mbps without paying any additional fees.
Of course it's steep, $15 for 10gig is a penalty for going over the download cap. Doesn't have anything to do at all with data rates.
BTW: I recently tested at almost 14Mbps for a service that only bills itself as 6Mbps.

Comcast has a "burst" type system so they let you burst to way past your limit for short periods of time.
I was aware of the "Speedboost". The speedtests that were run use large files so they are not swayed by the "boost". Many use a "Speedo" type dial that shows in progress.
Check out the speed tests on DSLReports.
