Eh?
A movie around 2 hours in HD (1080p) that's encoded good will take up about 10GB using H264. So 250GB is about 50 hours of good quality 1080p content. I'm sure ISPs want to stop heavy users but IMO it's more about stopping hulu, netflix, googletv, etc from taking off and providing a HD-TV alternative to cable. Timewarner has been trying to cap their bandwidth too, but even less (40GB).
