Re: I wanna know...

I don't see that happening in the near future. Why would companies that offer content want to pay comcast? I mean why would they want to pay comcast to use thier lines to offer content to comcast subscribers? This is a step back for high-bandwith applications and the users who use them.

Eventually these pay sites (iTunes, Amazon Music, Xbox Live, etc) will strike a deal with Comcast to exclude their traffic from the caps by profit sharing. This is exactly what Comcast and others have wanted from day one.

  Why hasn't anyone mentioned "pay sites?" You pay money for these and as far as I know they are legal, and they don't cap your downloads. This whole cap business is just someone at comcast got a bright idea to limit usage (for whatever reason), even if it is legal and paid for content being downloaded/uploaded. 250GB isn't that much considering you can download 8Gigs in an hour on comcast.
