 | Because like any other corporate behemoth, they are driven by pure greed. Comcast especially. Charge expensive rates, use outdated, bad network design and equipment and try to enforce ever changing rules and screw people doing it. |

 JigglywareGelatin based computing join:2006-01-09 Kenosha, WI | Exactly. They'd really prefer it if they never even had to put a connection out to you, and you'd just hand them money. Of course, that would never fly in the real world, but they try to get as close to that reality as possible.
You know how they qualify their speeds as being "up to" a certain amount, why can't they say you can transfer "up to" a certain number of gigabytes?
They'll never do this of course, because they hope their customers wouldn't know a gigabyte if one gigabit them in the ass, keeping the whole concept nebulous enough that nobody realizes exactly what it is they're paying for. And what exactly they are not getting for their money. |

 | Thank you. At least Verizon I know what I'm getting becuase they clearly stated it to me. Least they were honest about it when I signed up. I just got another pathetic attack attempt on me on YOU TUBE by a user that clearly doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. SAD. |
