Re: Why bother - Usage caps will stifle use

said by Youngjm:

Why bother - Usage caps being but in place by Comcast will stifle use. The higher speeds only let us reach the caps sooner.
My Comcast speeds have multiplied over the past 5 years - my consumption has not.
I pay for speed, not volume.
1500kbps to now 16,000kbps(17,600 provisioned and 17,300 actual)
Instead of a large file taking hours, it now takes minutes.

Upload - 256kbps 5 years ago, now 2200kbps.
THIS may increase usage a bit now, but my combined usage on Comcast's network is still in the 30GB per month range.

With 320mbps, if the supplying servers could push it, my downloads would not be minutes but seconds.

I cannot see *MY* consumption increasing to anything remotely close to 250GB in a month - no matter what speeds I might have.

Screw the cap!
