Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but sometimes I wonder if some posters work for comcast or what.

For my part..personally I think your suit is completely without merit and ranks with the kinds of things that are wrong with this countries legal system.

Or do online backup. Yes, otherwise 250GB is reasonable and even for P2P I'd think it'd be fine, but for online backup stuff I'm not so sure.

Who gives you permission to say what Comcast can and can not do? It's their network. IF you don't like it Robb then take your business else where.

The only thing you're going to do is get everyone a higher cable bill in the end so you can come back here and bitch some more that you're cable bill went up along with everyone elses.

But then again I hope you have big enough pockets so when it does NOT become a class action and they drag it through court you won't end up selling your house to them just to turn around and give the money back to them.

Be prepared to lose.

You paid what for your service..42.95? You say here you consumed over 120 gigs a month of bandwidth.

Rob..tell us. If that was a dedicated line...how much would you have paid? You say you're a professional in this industry..you should know or have a pretty good idea.

Did you get your 42.95's worth in that 125 gigs of data you consumed compared to what it cost the provider?

The top Internet speeds for targeted customers will be reduced for periods lasting 10 minutes to 20 minutes, keeping service to other users flowing, Mitch Bowling, Comcast's senior vice president and general manager of online services, said in an interview yesterday.

The new system will move away from a focus on specific applications that hog Web traffic, Bowling said. Comcast will determine ``in nearly real time'' whether congestion is caused by a heavy user, he said.

``If in fact a person is generating enough packets that they're the ones creating that situation, we will manage that consumer for the overall good of all of our consumers,'' Bowling said.

Comcast has decided to use the new system, which it calls ``fair share,'' and will fine-tune it further before introducing it, Bowling said.

The company is considering whether to charge subscribers more for heavier Internet use, a step announced by some other cable companies, Bowling said.

In trials, Comcast has found the fair share system to be effective if the slowing lasts for ``roughly between, probably, 10 and 20 minutes,'' Bowling said. The user's Internet speed would then return to normal.

``If they continue that, we would have to manage them again,'' Bowling said.

A user being impeded would have Internet speeds equivalent to ``a really good DSL experience,'' Bowling said.
