the cap sounds like baloney to me

The piece goes on to suggest that continual and vocal user complaints could also force the cap upward.

if this is true and complaints from customers are enough to get the caps raised (we all know how comcast listens to their customers, right?), it brings into question whether they "need" the caps to begin with.

if they really needed the caps they would either tell the customer to go to hell (1st choice) or they would trot out their public line about maintaining the best broadband experience for all customers by cracking down on the "bandwidth hogs" - they wouldn't raise the caps.

They need the caps for one simple reason.. it's really nothing but a weapon against a VERY SMALL FEW people that will push and insist that they be defined or they'll wreak havoc against the company trying to manage those that really are abusive on the network resources.

In other words, for the few big mouth smart-asses that want to push the line, the caps have been defined. If there is ever something so true, it's that a few can ruin it for the masses.

Having caps not defined was better than having them defined. Prior to caps, there were people going over 250 a month all the time. Now that they are defined, it's black and white. This move will change it for more so, now, than it would have before.

In one simple world: liability. They must have something to defend against the liability of those that are clueless either by nature, or by choice.
