•Caps - why get rid of your high usage customers?
•Shaping - done by many more ISPs than Comcast
•Usage tiers (incremental costs over XMbs,YMbs,ZMbs)
The last is my favorite. If someone doesn't mind sharing their bandwidth with businesses or the world 7x24, then they shouldn't mind paying for it. |

Chicago, IL | You don't actually think an ISP would lower the ticket price on the 80% of people that don't use their alloted (for lack of better term) bandwidth, do you?

Burn a tire, but make sure you buy that carbon offset! |

Nor did I say that. I think they will/should add to the bill for the 5% to help keep the price the same or slower inflation for 95% of the users. |

RCN actually doesn't shape. However comcast doesn't share their lines in some areas where RCN deploys (I've tried to get the service myself).
It's not a matter of time either, its called fraudulent impersonation. Block torrents? Sure, fine, done. But falsifying identities is not the same. |

Death Valley, CA | RCN business is failing... bad example.
Home Depot doesn't share it's shelves with Lowes... bad example
1 way vs another for addressing an issue = semantics |
