No, you'd better read the chart again.

Imagine yourself the heavy downloader who is downloading as much as you theoretically can during the day and night -- in other words, you plan to exceed the threshold every day.

You'll be able to download 100% of your tier from midn-noon, and 50% of your tier from noon-midn -- for a daily total of 75% of your tier.

Comcast's invisi-caps are somewhere lower than 33%.

Sorry, but your assumptions border on ridiculous.

The VAST majority of internet users use their connections during the times this ISP has their limitations in place and will not be sitting there maxing out their connections (which again..based on price..are half the speeds of comcasts)..from midnight until noon the next day.

Comcast does not put these hourly restrictions on people...and whether the number is 200 or 300gigs..CLEARLY..in relation to this ISP..comcast is very generous indeed.

I get you now.

You're comparing the general offering of the ISPs. I'm comparing how they handle this particular issue -- bandwidth congestion.

You're right as to your point. They seemed very pricey for the little bit that they were delivering. However, in looking over the smaller-sized cities they serve, their competition is rather limited.

They seem to be priced against Satellite, and not DSL/FIOS.
