Oklahoma City, OK | over subscriptions that's the thing that worries me. I'm sure Comcast will be harder than ever on bandwidth hogs as their backbone gets bogged down by all these new high bandwidth users...

Washington, DC | They put these higher speeds in competitive markets first, and they don't kick people off in competitive markets because they will just go to the competitor. |

It's ok, it'll just allow people to hit the invisible download cap even faster. |

I dont see why peple think more Bandwidth means more heavy downloading? Downloaders will download no matter what, it just takes them longer, were not going to get a new bread of downloaders roll in or anything just because of the increase of Bandwidth. More will get used though because of all the HD stuff now and other features coming out which our ISP are selling and expect the need for the increase to handle it.
Our whole family are heavy online gamers, we watch HD shows and have never been told we use to much Bandwidth so I have nothing to sweat, the people that do reach "the cap" should get out of the house once in awhile. We use the Internet alot here so it's hard to imagin hitting "The cap" being I was told by my ISP I have nothing to worry about. |

IF their network is anything like cabevisions their backbone shouldnt have any problems because the backbone should be all fiber. |

said by JerryTongue:I dont see why peple think more Bandwidth means more heavy downloading? Because the people likely to want more bandwidth are downloaders. As you pointed out, most us actually have plenty of bandwidth for our needs.
