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. Lol comcast caps are much better then twc's 5GB cap LOL!
any one that needs more then 250GB per month must be a thief |

NO OTHER systems outside that one around Beaumont, Texas has "caps". Higher limits for higher tiers of service, with usage above the limits charged extra.
With Comcast, 250GB is going to be grounds for getting your service cut off for all residential users no matter what the tier. Paying for usage above that isn't an option.
Then again this sort of DOCSIS 3 upgrade is an increase in bandwidth CAPACITY which will allow end user bandwidth and caps to be increased. |

NO OTHER systems outside that one around Beaumont, Texas has "caps". Higher limits for higher tiers of service, with usage above the limits charged extra. While I am against Caps, I feel that the cap should be based on full speed usage measured in connect time.
IOW: If it would take me X Minutes at full speed to reach the lower tier cap, if the highest tier has a max speed of 5 times the lower tier, its cap should ALSO be 5 times as large so I get the same amount of full speed time. Any cap based on GB is cheating if I can reach that cap faster on the faster tier. Basing the caps on Usage Volume not Usage Time to get that Volume is smoke and mirrors not a true method of allocating the access. |

| There are people like me who go on downloading binges. If I can download twice as fast it gives me more time to download more. Most of my limits to downloading content is due to the time it takes to obtain the content.
Then there are those who leave their computers on all night torrenting. |
