Trying To Decipher CableOne's New Caps

CableOne, owned by the Washington Post, is tinkering with some of their speeds, adding a 12 Mbps downstream, 1.5 Mbps upstream plan to their lineup. In a sign they're falling a bit behind the times, CableOne's previously fastest tier was 10 Mbps downstream 1 Mbps upstream. The company also offers 1.5, 3 5, 8 and 10 Mbps tiers. Perhaps more interesting is the fact that CableOne is tinkering with their already odd caps. The carrier has always employed a unique capping system that restricts how much bandwidth users can use at certain times of the day. CableOne's new speed and cap list is anything but clear, listing both "extended speeds" and "standard speeds" (usually half of extended speeds), before noting that users are capped during different times of the day.
