Re: It WAS offered (and IS STILL being offered) as Unlimited Use

BTW, that's not to say the issue discussed above occurs only on ebay. The practiceboard page isolates the ebay site. That means it could happen elsewhere.

Comcast sold the service as "Unlimited use," in email, in resellers' advertising copy, and on their own website.

Google also dug up some PR copy about the unlimited nature of the service, and there's some "@Home" and "Comcast @Home" copy out there. But those predate my getting on broadband, and I don't know enough about the @Home transition to know what the expectations were.
Customers of Comcasts FTP and image host services are finding limitations to Comcast-hosted picture images being used on ebay listings of their advertisements. Their customers (i.e., the ebay buyers) cannot see the pictures hosted by Comcast, however, the picture(s) show up after a page refresh. The issue is discussed here: »forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?···tart=200

Go to the practiceboard using IE (after just opening IE app) at »www.practiceboard.com/?7762805 and see a red X box where the Comcast picture should be.

If you didn't see the red X, exit IE and then restart IE and return to the practiceboard. You should see the red X.

If you did see the red X, press F5 and the picture will appear.

This demonstrates that Comcast is blocking pictures from appearing on ebay. A seller says in the aforementioned forum thread: "Read your TOS for free FTP space - the space is not be used for commercial purposes. Hosting images to sell junk on ebay is considered a commercial purpose. They're blocking you!"

That's not "unlimited use".
