John,
I've been hearing rumblings about it for a while... here's an older article regarding Comcast's setup:
I should probably stopped being surprised by what wikipedia has articles about... but they have one on data limits! (has link to above ars' story)
I'm not sure switching to cable from DSL will get rid of data limits... but it ought to be a faster connection (so you can go through your data faster!)

I've never scrutinized the fine print on the contract but I get the feeling this is a new way of trying to squeeze more money out of customers. Does anybody know if this type of policy is something that has been adopted in recent years or has it always been in place and I've just never noticed. I think the DirectTV downloading various episodes from the VOD channels instead of waiting for the show to be broadcast may be contributing largely to the data usage which brings up a conflict of the recent merger of ATT and DirectTV in my book.I will now be exploring a cable modem which will give better performance but I don't know if they have any data limits. This just seems like a revenue scheme to me. I just read Verizon is also changing their contract policy to get rid of contracts and change the data structure.
