Depends. In short, yes, it is true that most people don't exceed that cap. I think for the tech crowd, though, this is a philosophical argument about where this takes us. I don't think Verizon adding a cap is because they're worried about network congestion (LTE should be more than capable of handling a loaded network)...it's because they view that 2% of people who do exceed the cap are a revenue source. It opens a whole slew of potentially terrible scenarios for carriers having complete control over how you use the network. That may be their right, but it's ultimately bad for the consumer (part of why Sprint is so against the AT&T - T-Mobile merger).
