Re: Unlimited...
I'm connected ATM, I have been connected for nearly 4 years(barring computer restarts).
To me, that is Unlimited *ACCESS*.
I don't download every single file I see... there's no point in it!
Unlimited Use is just that, lighting up mega-downloads and running 24/7.
No one advertises that, sure as hell not Comcast!
Email?
If you are sending out email at a constant 384-768k(2mbps?), I sure as shit hope they terminate you!
I hate spammers!
If you are downloading hundreds of GB per month, then you are likely degrading the network for everyone.
I hope they actually cut your coax! Sorry!
I pay for Speed and 24/7 Access. I get both!
I am not paying for terabytes of data transfers.
That would cost a hell of alot more than $52.95 per month!
Everything here works "As Advertised". Connection is always up, always fast when I need it, and I always have access to it.
THAT is Unlimited Access.

| Access is a usable pipe, if they cap you at 10 GB of download a month...and then you can't access the Internet or e-mail. because you can no longer download anything, the pipe is not usable....that is not unlimited ACCESS, that's not even decent access.
By your definition, as long as they are giving you IP and you can't even go anywhere, that's proof of unlimited access.
And more so at least drop the straw man drama.
No one said I'm downloading or uploading or doing anything of the sort at the max capacity...I am offering an example, but as you seem to need to make it inflametory I will give you a simple example.
Let's say I have a business account, I have "unlimited INTERNET ACCESS" (as it is sold. I also have an web based offsite back up of my local business data. Every day I pump out about 300MB of data at 1am or so to my back up service...(I have a decent connection, 10/5)...so I do my thing, we do work every day run the office though the day use the Internet...then on day 16 or so no Internet...because why? I suddenly find out I have a total cap of 9 GB of data on my "UNLIMITED INTERNET ACCESS"
Short version, just tell people what they have, not make up some marketing term to complete.
If a rental car company said you had unlimited miles then charged you for ever mile after 300...they would end up in court by the AG of the state(s) they run in.
Unlimited means unlimited. |

| Right!
Usable, not ABUSABLE.
If anyone has the need to download multi-hundred GBs of data, get something other than a residential service.
Unlimited *ACCESS* means - unlimited access to the service, not unlimited data transfers.
It doesn't matter what you or I interpret what it means, it's THEIR network!
If they say no more, you get no more!
If you agreed to this, then you are SOL!
Since I have never gone over 40GB per month, I can reasonably rest assured that I will never get a call.
Go ahead and do whatever you wish, I'll see you in Rants and Raves!

| Sorry, when you access the internet, that is data transfer. What is accessing the internet other than downloading and uploading data?
That would be like if a rental car company told me I had unlimited "use" of the car, but then after a certain number of miles the car wouldn't start. I can open the door and get in but not drive, and most people don't consider "using" a car to be just sitting in it doing nothing! Just like "using" a car means driving, to any reasonable person you're not accessing the internet if you can open the browser but nothing appears. |

Most Comcast customers DO NOT receive speeds "As Advertised" i was formerly a happy adelphia hsi customer receiving over advertised 6/768 @ 6/840 and it was always as advertised... then came Comcast. It has been a horror show since they showed up. My speeds are between 1/640 - 3/640 not even near near advertised let alone what i was getting just a day before Comcast took over. So stop advertising your crappy comcast connection when most of the people who have/had comcast know its a crap/ripoff service  .... (About the only time you'll receive good speed are like 1:00am - 10:00pm when everyone sleeping)and upload speed is always crap @640-740 kbps .... and on top of all this is there monthly cap -_- |
