Comcast is really gonna screw themselves in areas with Fios with this policy. Let's see 16/2 which is throttled, shaped, and capped FTTN BS vs. 20/20 unrestricted and FTTP.
Tough choice |

There are many customers who are very happy with Comcast and can get FiOS, and stay with Comcast.
The 250GB cap will only affect very few customers. It's not like you'll see everyone kicked off overnight. |

I've just done side jobs for a number of people in my neighborhood who have switched to Fios in the past month. Maybe just your area where they aren't switching. |

You have to be semi-retarded now to use Comcast if you have FiOS in your area now. You'd have to be super retarded to use them after this cap goes in and you have cap free and cheaper and faster FiOS available. |

Comcast competes on prices, not caps. A customer who uses the Internet to check their email, chat online, check the news/sports, etc won't care that they have a 250GB cap - instead they'll care that they are saving $10-$15/mo. by using Comcast and not FiOS. |

said by thebulldan:and of course waiting for my Friday 8AM Fios Installation! Goodbye and good riddance to Comcast! I've been on it for about a year with the 20/5 package.. It is glorious. The way I see it, comcast is doing a hack n' slash on the small minority because their archaic system (that they do not want to pay to overhaul like verizon is doing) cannot keep up with current and future demands.
This situation they are creating will only get worse as HD content becomes the norm. I have 4 different pc's in my house with people on them at the same time more often than not and i'm sure my usage is way past the comcast cap. Verizon is not worried since they could easily do 100-200mbs per person (with GPon) without any slowdown for anyone else. Now thats forward thinking. |
