Re: Thanks Comcast! 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. |
