Bugs me...

It just bugs me that many ISPs (read:comcast) are trying to offer more services instead of becoming a "dumb pipe" (which may be what the customers WANT). So they offer all these music and video services to their customers... but they are charging us against the cap for their services. You'd think things that remain in network would not count against the cap...

The reason why they aren't becoming a dumb pipe is because there are too many dumb customers. As long as there are dumb customers, there are markets for them, and Comcast (as well as every ISP) will take advantage (read: $$$) of these customers.

The fault isn't the companies - it's the customers.
