Capitalism breeds greed. People just dont like to admit it.
That's what happening within Comcast. |

Re: Yep... business as usual
Comcast is a complete joke... Just upgrade your old CRAPPY equipment and let the customers use as much bandwidth as we want! UPGRADE YOUR OLD CRAPPY EQUIPMENT COMCAST AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE STUPID BANDWIDTH PROBLEMS!!
Also... comcast get rid of your entertainment sections, I see you are selling movies directly from your site. Start thinking about upgrading your old crappy system before you start making sites that sell movies... there are other better sources for that type of content... UPGRADE YOUR OLD CRAPPY EQUIPMENT COMCAST!! |

I get it now. If they can afford to just throw away 1000 customers every month with out blinking an eye, I now understand why they could care less about fixing any of my service issues. Thanks a lot Insight for handing me over to these tools. |

said by Matt  :This is not surprising at all and exactly what most people thought was going on. And the "WE THE PEOPLE" crowd are now getting what they demanded - an announced & marketed hard cap. And instead of 1,000/mo of the very worst abusers getting booted, Comcast gets to boot many many more within a couple months of Oct 1(new rules give an extra 30 days beyond 1st month before termination). So say around Dec 1 or thereabouts, we can start reading all the woeful stories about how "I was not an abuser, but just an advanced user backing up my terabytes of disk storage".
Moral of story: "Beware of what you wish for - you may get it."

Re: Only 1,000?
Then after you booth that top 1%, boot the top 1% again. Just rinse and repeat. They'll have a really easy to manage network before too long....there will be no traffic on it. |

| And we're supposed to believe anything these ISPs say
Comcast lying, Bell Canada lying...and we're supposed to believe any claims coming from them.
This is evidence that nothing they say is to be believed and the burden of proof (eg that they're having capacity problems) is on them.
Everything they say must be assumed a lie. |

Yes Tom, it's consumers who demand clarity and accountability that are the problem. Clearly.  |

Re: curius
If my math is correct, you would need to use greater than 768kbps of data non-stop for the entire month to exceed 250GB in one month.
I'd like to see Comcast release what percentage of their users currently use more than 250GB/month so that way we will know how many of their users they will be terminating  |

Now come on Karl. You know that customers are just a necessary evil, to be handled like cattle.
This makes me proud to be a Florida taxpayer. Go get 'em Bill. |

They weren't affected and were not aware of any problem. It was the well above average abusers demanding the clarification and a hard cap. Well now they get to pay for what they wanted and got.
