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!

In our area, no one can compete. The DSL speeds just don't cut it.
The 50mbs/5mbs system will be nice, I don't care what they cost...until there's something faster, they'll have me as a customer. I'll just cancel my cable subscription and download more.
News this week has the most expensive RR with Turbo Boost at $150 for "almost" unlimited download capability.
The new super duper high speed package doesn't seem to have any caps but won't be open to everyone. I got on the list, so no worries here.
