People learn to a) pay for a higher tier, b) stream at a lower resolution, or c) stop watching ten Breaking Bad episodes a day.
Alternately, if Comcast is getting paid by Netflix, AND Cogent AND the consumer, then if Netflix loses customers because of data caps, they've got strong incentive to argue that Netflix traffic shouldn't count against data caps. More than anythig there needs to be a hell of a lot more pushback from content providers and consumers on ISPs than there seems to be.
