Re: our competitive market said by nasadude:caps beat the hell out of capex to add capacity don't they? From Comcast's POV, caps beat customers downloading so many videos, they stop buying HBO (and other TV) from them.  |

Maybe you're not in the majority then.. MOST people will notice NOTHING with this change. With that said, what many people are not getting is that this move is to go after those that constantly push the envelope, otherwise, the cap would be lower, and not high at 250.
The MAJORITY of all the customer base will not even think two seconds about this change as it won't affect them.. who it WILL affect,.. mostly the people here bitching.
What does this tell you?
... it tells you they don't want you.. and, if you are going to get your service and go way beyond and push arguments like "It's my internet and I'll use it how I want" .. well..? .. now you're going to pay. now you're getting what you asked for... you're getting the clear caps and the hands off approach that everyone wanted.
Congratulate yourselves.
