My guess: Those that are likely to spend a lot of time on the internet or rely on the internet have already purchased the "regular" Xfinity plans that have the caps. Those that are purchasing the NOW plans that don't have caps today are new to the internet or just want it for email or downloading Kindle books. This is Xfinity trying to gain entry into a new set of customers and the no-caps language is marketing.

I suspect things will change and more people will switch to the cheaper plan. When that happens, the cheaper plan will become more expensive and caps might be put in place.

That's if there isn't already some fine print that says your speeds could be lowered if you exceed a certain number of GB in a month. "Lowered" and not "capped" or "extra charge" means they would still be able to advertise no caps while effectively limiting usage.
