Mount Airy, MD		So?

What is the monthly usage cap on this tier? Is it still 250GB ?

Davie, FL		 It shouldn't matter. If I need to download a 250 MB file, it would be nice to get it twice as fast. That doesn't mean I'm going to download ANOTHER 250 MB file just to fill in the time I saved.

 That's not exactly how it works you know. When you upgraded from dialup to DSL/Cable, did you continue to do only what you did with dialup? Or did you take advantage of services that were tailored for DSL/Cable speeds?

Odds are the latter is true, not the former.

Caps do nothing at all except force users to cease using their connections to their full capabilities.

I certainly am glad none of my ISPs have caps:

AT&T:

DSL Extreme 1:

DSL Extreme 2:

Charter:


And since this site doesn't like tabs here is an image of my totals:

Chugging along on 2x 6016/768k DSL Extreme DSL lines and one 6016/768 ATT DSL DIrect line as well as one 10mb/1mb Charter cable line for a combined total of just over 26 meg download and 3 meg up (after overhead). yay!

  You could avoid the Comcast residential caps with a Comcast Business Starter plan. Currently it is $60 a month, at 6/1 but in about a month will double in many places to 12/2.
