San Francisco, CA | this isn't fair to go after "big cable"
Comcast does what it can to bring the fastest service possible and some people just want to take all the bandwidth and pay $19.99 for it. People just should be more reasonable and not suck all the bandwidth. |

Maybe people would be more mindful of how their using their bandwidth if ISP's actually articulated what they mean by "reasonable usage". Without a clear definition what's "reasonable" then reasonable to you might not be reasonable to me and so on.
This is why ISP's must be held to account for their network management practices. It's not that they don't have the right to manage their network for the greater good of all their customers (of course they do), but it's how they go about actually doing it and disclosing it to customers that makes people suspicious.
There has to be oversight (hello, FCC?) to ensure that the ISP's are not trying to slant things to their favor. For example, by implementing caps so low that they don't make sense for the amount of money they are already making off of customers, etc. |

People just should be more reasonable and not suck all the bandwidth. Oh please, all we another another tool like Rick.. Comcast doesn't do anything about bringing anyone the fastest service possible.. That is, unless they have competition in your area. They're real quick to bump the performance when they have competition otherwise you're paying just as much for 1/2 the speed. People will consume more and more bandwidth in the upcoming years. While 250GB might be enough for you now, when it isn't don't expect Comcrap to raise the limit. This is just another way for them to keep internet TV, satellite, and other internet based services under their control.
Comcast is big business, and big business is bad. When are some of you guys going to get it? Don't answer that, because the way these replies have been going.. you won't. |
