Capping should hopefully ease the situation. Fewer people streaming video in peak hours should mean less network congestion.

I agree that fewer people streaming video should lower traffic - but that's unfair as well. Most people are home around the same hours. These people are now unable to use their free hours for entertainment. If people who pay premium for these types of streaming content are not able to use it (or incur additional fees) they will start getting rid of it. This means that companies like Hulu and Netflix will slowly get forced out of business by their competition. Which is bad for our wallets.
