Exactly.

Where's the tool to allow us to view what Comcast says our usage is? I hope that's going to be enabled in October also.

It really wont matter if they tell you how much you used, I do not even think they know how much individual customers use anyway. When I was on Comcrap I was accused of downloading 1.2TB in a month. The strange part about it, during the month I was accused of downloading 1.2TB my modem and computers were unplugged and I was out of the country. No one was in my house for the whole month and no one had used my internet connection.

I strongly believe there whole argument about heavy download users is bulls**t. I think they randomly target people for disconnection just because they need more room on the node for people who pay more even if it means they loose a customer of 10+ years like me who was paying close to $250 a month for there shitty service.

Now I am happily on Verizon FiOS, paying less for my service ~$210 and getting a much higher quality of service and many more television channels then I ever got with Comcrap.
