I think that system has many business risk for Road Runner.

The tiered pricing opens a door way for competition to compete on just one of
their tiers.

For example :

RR makes a $39/month 3000kbs upload plan. (in addtion to other plans up to $100)

Now some company that couldn't compete with RR's full sevice can now compete
at that speed and price.
The other company has worked out some deal and they are now capped at 3500kbs but
the deal allows them to offer a $29/month 3500kbs upload plan.

That's $10 less and 500kbs faster!
