Re: i dont agree with that

said by Cheese See Profile :

I would agree with the first part of your comment if the file was being downloaded from a 3rd party, but to download it from the company who is also providing the internet to your location, and them charging for the movie/tv show and then to have it COUNT AGAINST the download caps? That's ridiculous.
You do realize that your comcast.net stuff, your email, accessing your own personal web page hosted on mysite.home.comcast.net -- all of this applies on the cap.

The $1.99 per episode or 3.99 per movie that you would pay is not only to pay for Fancast's bandwidth (which amounts to a minor fraction), but to pay the license fee charged by the studios for PPV, and -- of course -- margin.
