Re: Pointless.said by ztmike:But why the upgrade in speeds when Comcast will be imposing a cap next month? Restated: the only thing slowing you down from using more bandwidth every month is the raw speed of the link that you're using to download?
There are lots of people for which this service works incredibly well, myself included.
The download speed is downright magical when it comes to grabbing ISOs, like the Trixbox and PBX In a Flash images I grabbed a couple weeks ago. The 5mbps upload is also a huge bonus.
My usage did go up since I signed up for the service in June, largely due to me downloading things simply for the wow-factor of 50mbps, but it's still well below that 250GB cap:
