Re: fios

you seem to have completely missed my point. that being that gmail is constantly increasing their storage space. who cares if not everyone uses it. Comcast and any ISP that imposes CAPS should constantly adjust them upward since bandwidth grows naturally over time. else it is a blatant money grab by Comcast as it doesn't take into account the current nature of the internet.

Please save your the opinions you have, that are fact less, for someone else. I don't hold conversations on myths. I DID get your post.. and what I'm telling you is that the "constant raising" of the caps, or limits, such as what google does is actually FAR worse what cocmast's over selling. All that theoretic limit on google is, really, is a gimmick. It's based on the amount that a % of high end users can store based on the over all use of the entire customer base calculated against their resources. The fact is that the entire base of Google customers could NOT use the current 7gb of storage.. they are also over selling.

Comcast actually can over sell their network like any other shared medium, INCLUDING DSL and FiOS. It's expected that not all users will use the internet at 100% all the time AND its assumed that a typical residential user has a typical pattern of use.

I'm sure, as to what you said, that the caps WILL rise. The speeds have, .. upgrades happen.. why wouldn't they?

The constant adjustment won't happen.. annual or periodic increases.. yes. Could they be system by system based? yes. But little bits at at time? .. it doesn't work that way here. The problem is geographical, at times, and they can't dowhat you are saying.

what the hell are you ranting about? i wasn't advocating constant adjusting, just periodic 6mo or 12 mon adjustments. re-read my posts.
