Re: Cable companies need to wake up said by espaeth:said by Jeffrey:I really dislike when people say what should be enough for someone else. Statistically speaking, 250GB would easily fit 99+% of the existing user base usage. Someone else made this point at some other spot in this thread....if 99+% of the customers are below the 250GB cap - by a large margin - then why the need for this to begin with?

Now there's a figure for them to relay. |

I just think if you piss off enough of them, and there is an alternative, another company can take advantage of that situation. Comcast doesn't exactly have glowing reviews over the last year or so, either.
