Of course you exist on the backs of other customers.
There is no way in the world that these kinds of bandwidth numbers would be available to you otherwise for this kind of money except for the fact that this is a shared network.
A 6 or 8 Mb pipe delivering to you 250~400Gigs per month would cost you THOUSANDS per month were you not on a shared network arrangement. What has been happening is everyone has been footing the bills while the vast minority helps themselves to everything they can get. As the comcast statements notes, the average user is consuming 2 to 3 gigs per month while others apparently are going to extremes of 250 to 400 gigs. It is time that people using the excessive amounts start to pay for it.
It's really that simple.

I do not have a problem to pay for my usage, but I have a problem with your position regarding that we "the hogs" are somehow ripping others offe or existing at their expense.
