The end goal here is to end competition to their cable TV service. They will lower the GB amount in time to put companies whom threaten their cable TV business. Ie think Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, HBO direct and the others that might not be as popular or those who will come in the future.
If you think they will not do this, you are going to be in for a big surprise. This is the very reason they are putting so much money in the pockets on congress to make sure net neutrality doesn't provide a fair internet business place.
Ask your self, how many of those "unlimited data" plans are still in existence with cell phone carriers. The Cable/telco industry will do the same on landline internet until it becomes the "normal" thing, just like shitty 5gig cell phone plans are the "normal" thing.
