united state | ahh another way to sqeeze every dime they can out of someone Anyone who supports a bandwidth cap garbage is nothing more than a coporate nazi!
look lets take comcast for example....at lets say 60 million subscribers...at 42 bucks per subscriber
that comes out to be:252,000000
now lets subtract 31% for taxes state and local
comes out to be 7,812,000,00 we will round it off and say 8 million even
now we will say paying their employess comprises 37%
that comes out to be 9, 324,000,000 we will just say an even 9 mill for sake of this argument
it cost them 16% for electic, bills for keeping up buildings, equipment, etc
comes out to be 4,320,00,00 we will just say 4 million for simplicity
they pay out around 21 million a month in average expendetures and taxes
they gross in a months time 231 million!
per month...and they claim they need a bandwidth cap!? are you crazy
i was very "generous" on the number of subscribers comcast has and the price plan they have..i said 42 bucks, its more like 53 or more
im sorry but im not even counting the ad revenue they make from such vendor
if you cna even justify a bandwidth cap and usage..then we might as well call this corporate bullying
the federal givenment gives them "millions and millions" of OUR hard earned tax dollars a year...and you would deal with a cap
we are being robbed in every way imaginable and people put up with it
American needs to wake up, if they starts this crap, customers should bail in drives..get 30 or 40 million people to drop their service, they will come around....and see things our way |

Camden, TN | You realize this article is about a CANADIAN company. Secondly which ISP has 60 million customers? at&t is #1 last time I checked and that have under 20 million.
also you math is WAY off. Stop trying.
Also you should be banned for calling people Nazis. I could be jewish and maybe I had family killed by REAL Nazis. And maybe I am offended by being lumped in with those people.
I don't think Comcast's proposed cap of 250 GB is worth bitching about. That's more than generous.n even this candian cap at 95 is a little smaller than I'd think would be best ther overages are capped at $25 so it's not like you're going to have a $300 internet bill.
So yes TW cap is stupidly small. Yes overage fees of $1 or more per GB are outrageous. Lowering SPEED would solve bandwidth issue for going over a cap would do better than charging extra. If I'm a millionaire do I care if I'm paying $1 per GB over? Hell no. |
