It's all a scam...
Cable operators are out there screaming they're oh so much faster than DSL, meanwhile they have the monthly caps and extensive TS. They tout their services are great for music and streaming video then turn right around and throttle that type of traffic. At least providers like Cox lay out their limitations in writing up front for all to see. To bad operators like Comcrap don't follow suit and simply state what the restrictions are rather than the vague TOS/AUP buried in the service agreement.
I have Adelphia right now.. I don't feel capped. I Dl Animes and watch shows all the time Is there a company in particular you had this experience with...and please don't say comcast... cuz I'm getting them by the end of the year i think.

I had gotten a 'nasty gram' from Comcrap last year but it doesn't seem they're sending them out any more. That in itself wasn't that big a deal but this just a few months after they stopped advertising their service as "unlimited". Not just 'always on' or some other BS marketing term but they actually used the term unlimited. I called to find out what the cap was and they wouldn't tell me what the cap was when I called but to just 'cut my usage by half'. It's like American Express...no spending limits yet they will decline purchases. The cap is there somewhere since at some point a nasty gram got triggered.
I wouldn't have such a problem with caps or throttling if they would just say what the restrictions are like Cox and even DirecPC does. Then people can make a fair assessment as to whether or not they think the price is a good deal or not.
