Laguna Hills, CA | They have a FAP They don't need a cap too. The FAP provides all the network management necessary to insure that so-called hog activities don't impact other users. |

The FAP is the actual effective traffic management tool to prevent the "hogs" from interfering with others service.. |

Yes, we SHOULD thank the AG for forcing them to disclose the truth instead of "glass" ceilings and other untruths.

kudos:3 | Yea.. we SHOULD thank them.. because many people broke that 250gb cap all the time in the past; but not any more.
You have to stop looking at things one sided or that makes one an extremist. And, in this case, an untruth is also something you simply disagree with or simply don't like. |

Even CC said that the 250 is not "set in stone". Seems that the 400 GB is more what triggers an issue these days. The fact that they have to disclose a number is good because it gives paying users an idea what expectations they should have of the service they purchased, which is a reasonable expectation in any contract.
You may want to re-read your definition of an extremist and see who it may apply to while looking at a shiny reflective surface as a mirror.

kudos:3 | The definition of extremist doesn't change on the person using it. An extremist can only see something one way. I hardly have one view...
.. but, your attempt to turn it around on me was... cute.
Many people on this site are extremists. They can NOT see either side no matter what the issue... not so much accept it, but even see it.
As for the "250 not set in stone".. what does that have anything to do with what I said..? In a world of black and white, I'll stick with the 250gb as set in stone unless else is demonstrated with a valid pattern to back it up. |

Laguna Hills, CA | reply to sturmvogel
Same thing Cox does. Cox has VERY low 40GB caps, but apparently doesn't enforce them. But if they end up with a franchise where there are problems and they need to reign in a subscriber, there is a clear unambiguous number they can point to. Before Comcast would just say "cut your usage in half" and according to some forum posts people did that and still got cancelled. Comcast would call people abuses while refusing to clearly define what abuse was. Now they have a clear definition. If they choose to selectively enforce it, that's fine but if the time comes that they do there will be no more guessing bullcrap. |
