Re: Thanks Comcast! The thank you for not making the caps known is dumb. Comcast should make the caps known. If Comcast says the caps are 50gigs a month and people stay under them, wouldn't that also stop bandwidth abusers?

Then it's an inconvenience to the other 99% of their customers that aren't consuming 200GB/mo.
So again, THANK YOU Comcast. |

So again, THANK YOU Comcast. With that level of certainty, it should be easy for you to back up your assertions that stated caps would encourage additional bandwidth usage over the current situation, in which many (most?) people seem to think the bandwidth is unlimited.
Please feel free to do so. And if you can't, we'll know where things stand. |

The thank you for not making the caps known is dumb. Yeah, it is.
The simple fact is, it's quite likely those who will use high-bandwidth applications will use them, and those who have no interest in them are not likely to discover such interest when caps are stated.
By stating caps, Comcast could 1) decrease bad publicity and 2) decrease excessive usage. But by doing so, they'd dispel the myth (which, of course, they had no part in starting), that their service is unlimited.
I think there are a number of vocal people here who either work for Comcast or enjoy other people's problems, and simply won't acknowledge that explicitly stating caps and limitations on service (instead of vague legalese buried in terms and conditions) is a fair business practice. |
