said by PDXPLT:said by aciddrink:What about those of us that stream netflix, download linux distros and/or movies from Itunes? We can easily consume as much or more bandwidth than a 'pirate' can, especially in a household.
Yea, and why would Comcast want to make that easy for you to do? Then you'll buy less PPV movies, premium mvie channels, etc., from them.
This policy makes business sense from Comcasts POV. They provide HSI to compete with DSL,
NOT to cannabalize their high-margin TV offerings. So as long as you get an "above DSL" experience, you should be happy, right?
This is just like Frontier's cap - obviously, the only "appropriate" use for HSI is browsing, email, etc.: anything that doesn't threaten their other businesses.
Because none of that is illegal?
