Re: Thanks Comcast! And thank you for not making it known what the caps are. That way users aren't abusing it by always coming "close" to the bandwidth limit, but never over. Do you have any evidence whatsoever that this would be the case, as compared with the current situation? If so, you should state it. If not, you really should stop claiming something that is both counter-intuitive and utterly unsupported--at least, if you want to be taken seriously. | |

It seems obvious you care very little about other people, based on your original comments. Of course, one would think that you'd care at least somewhat what your readers think, since you bother to post.
And if not that, one might hope you'd at least care about intellectual honesty.
But by all means, don't back up your assertions. In which case, it's patently obvious where you stand on both counts. And when this policy (or one like it) bites you, I truly hope others return the favors you dish out. | | |

I could careless if you take me seriously or not. Does that make more sense? | |

That's two posts you've wasted thus far on irrelevancies, when you could have been backing up your statements. | |

That's two posts you've wasted thus far on irrelevancies, when you could have been backing up your statements. *sigh*. Again, I was thanking Comcast for what they are doing. If you don't like it, tough luck. Again, no where did I say it's "statistically" proven. It's all opinion based, something you just can't grasp.
Further, I don't need to justify anything to you. Who are you? You're just an anonymous person, who could be one of those 1% of the abusers who were kicked off Comcast's network. I don't know, and I don't care.
How about you show me proof that by making the caps KNOWN, that the 1% of the abusers still wouldn't abuse it, or come close to each month so they don't go over? | |

It's all opinion based, something you just can't grasp. You made a bald assertion (not stated an opinion) in a post that basically attacked those who have been on the receiving end of Comcast's actions. I asked you to back it up. That's not exactly a ridiculous request.
Comcast has made the same claim as an excuse to avoid stating caps. They've also failed to back up that assertion.
How about you show me proof that by making the caps KNOWN, that the 1% of the abusers still wouldn't abuse it, or come close to each month so they don't go over? I didn't assert that to you. I believe that by stating caps, those who will use bandwidth intensive applications will limit that useage, whereas those who don't have any interest in such applications are unlikely to suddenly discover such interest due to stated caps.
I don't know this is the case, nor would I claim it to be other than my opinion without evidence to back it up. | |
