I care; caps do suck but given the choice I'd rather have double the speed at half the transfer cap. To be clear, by double the speed I mean half the latency between requesting a resource and page load, which is a significant amount of my usage pattern.

If something (like uploading a backup or streaming a movie) is going to run for a long time, I don't care how fast the average speed is as long as it's enough to stream 1080p.

But if my next task demands some info from a 20MB datasheet that I don't have locally, I want that to load as fast as possible. And I'm not going to do that 25,000 times a month.
