they called me.

I've just got a call from them last week telling me that I used too much. If they ever cut me, I will ask all my friends and family to switch to dsl.
I used to like them a lot, but this invisible cap is making me hate them so much. If you can't handle the traffic, don't claim it is unlimited.
Too bad Fios is not available here, otherwise I will make the switch immediately.
In Seattle there are not much to choose from. Anyone has any suggestions for alternative in Seattle area other than dsl?

They do not claim it is unlimited. And there's no ISP in business that will let you leech 24-7-365 nonstop at the residential charge.

I don't know what era you're living in.

But, in today's internet, you don't need to leech 24x7x365 nonstop to reach Comcast's "CAP"

And, that does not mean piracy. There are lots of legitimate ways of downloading big files/contents

Is using your Comcast connection @ advertised speeds for 4 hours a day considered abuse? why offer these fast speeds then when people actually use it Comcast claims network abuse? There network is crap to begin with. They offer the most expensive and the slowest speeds of all other major cable isp's in the U.S. along with they're horrid monthly cap. COMCRAP is such a ripoff

If you already received the call from them, then they have already started the procedures to getting you thrown off their network. Believe me, they DON'T want you.
