Re: My Comcast Service was Cut Off - And Restored!

With their Triple Play package Comcast wants to play in the telco market and they better be ready to offer 911 service. Since they want to be your sole telco provider they better be ready for more contact from California PUC.

Comcast does offer 911 and they will not shut you off without notice if you have CDV.

This customer was using a third party VOIP. Read the TOS. Comcast is not repsonsible for QOS on your third party VOIP and can disco without penalty, especially when an abuse warning is documented.

The media blitz and neighbor alert was a pleasant twist!

"Tell everyone, if you use P2P and download and share Movies and Warez all day Comcast will disco you!!!"

"Hi, Im from next door.. Comcast has informed me that I am negatively impacting my neighborhood by being one of the largest bandwidth hogs in the area, In the upper 1%! "

Isnt that what they make sex offenders do as well?

I am pretty surprised that people visiting this site would be giving this guy crap for using 200GB a month. I don't think that is an out of this world type number considering how many different ways people use the Internet now.

Consider this, at the 8Mbps plan, if you used your connection full out 24/7 you could download approximately 86GB a day and approximately 2600GB a month. 200GB is using about 8% of the maximum that you could use at the speed given.

At the very least Comcast needs to come out with numbers for everyone to view and have set limits on the service that they sell. All of this hiding the numbers crap does nothing for anyone, except to let Comcast pretend to be "unlimited" every time they sign up a new subscriber.

I agree Rico..

.. Yet another calculation on usage which we've seen a million times here.. (would love to see a cap on that kinda post here) not to mention, qw is defending a story that is CLEARLY fabricated to begin with. Since he's lying and it's VERY obvious by the so-called facts he has posted, how do any of us know that if he really was cut off (the anon poster) that it was even 200gb that he was contacted over in the first place?

Don't feed the Troll.

I would agree about giving people a hard time about 200GB per month. However, it is still an unusual volume of data. I doubt that more than 20% of the people connected to the Internet are moving that much data every month. Peak usage? I can see that. But I can't imagine that there is enough stuff of interest for a constant stream at that volume.
