kudos:3 | so far it looks great to me (just skimmed it).
The only thing I'd like them to add to the whole plan is some sort of offical useage meter (not that I'm ever near the cap, just want to know what THEY see). |

I agree with the disclosure of the cap.
I do not agree with the lack of a trustworthy meter and the many other loopholes in the one sided contract in which CC could disconnect a user for whatever reason they want.
A step forward ? Yes.

said by sturmvogel:I agree with the disclosure of the cap. ... I voted No but I agree that it's a step toward better disclosure, and if you're going to have a cap, disclosure is one necessary element.
I think that's ultimately up to Comcast and how well they behave. Time will tell.

I agree with it, and as long as I agree with it I'll keep Comcast.
If I ever have reason to disagree with the terms, I'll just go elsewhere, sans the rants.

I'm waiting to see if I get any more speed. I don't think I have any heavy downloaders on my node, but if I do, I guess after October 1 they won't be doing as much.
Or they might, and then.......
We shall see |

Even though satisfaction is split roughly 50-50 right now, I think that the majority of the changes largely make sense, or were already in place before they were officially recorded in this AUP refresh.
Honestly, the 250GB cap is nothing new. It always existed, now they're just being upfront about it. I disagree with it just as much as I did before, but I appreciate the transparency of what they're trying to do here by finally being upfront about this and not imposing a much more ominous glass cap.
I haven't perused the other changes, but there is just so much nonsense in the AUP which nobody ever takes note of (when's the last time you heard somebody get an abuse email because of running a server?) that I really don't care.

I have no problems with the cap. But they shouldn't suspend your account if you go over 250, they should just throttle it down so you can at least use it. They should also let you see exactly where you stand on your bandwidth usage for the month at all times. |

You speak common sense and courtesy. Powers that be will disagree, as the AUP seems to imply.

I agree that the cap has always been in place; they're just being open about it now.
I'm sure I don't even come remotely close. I think though that they should give users who do go over the option of paying for the extra usage instead of suspending them.
