I'm glad they finally have a hard cap instead of an ambiguous excessive use policy. I imagine that the cap will go up as time goes on. I was reading a post in another forum where the guy said he got a warning letter from his ISP back in '99 for going through 7 gigs in a month. 250 isn't bad now, and I'm sure it can be adjusted in the future.
I also think that this really isn't any different from a cell phone plan. The more minutes you need your cell phone for the more you pay. The minutes included with basic plans have gone up through the years. When I got my first cell phone in '02 my plan came with 300 anytime minutes. Now I still have the lowest entry level plan and it comes with 450 anytime minutes. It might not be a bad thing for Comcast to have a base plan, and then tiers for higher usage after that.
