Re: LOL said by Dogfather:Karl's gotta throw in the 3 things Comcrap does right or feel the wrath of the coaxial kissasses. Yea..I got a kick out of that
Comcast is taking At&t's slogan of the "death star" what I find really funny is that Comcast imposes a 250gig cap but yet Comcast customers can't view their data usage LOL, that's pretty damn fucked up in my eyes.
I get the monthly bill from Comcast, and its over what I usually pay..call Comcast and it would go something like this:
Me: Why the hell did my internet bill go up this billing cycle?
Comcast: You've gone over your 250gig cap sir.
Me: What? I wasn't aware of this?
Comcast: Yes, sir. You owe us $30 more from your over-usage.
Me: But you're commercials on tv don't say anything about a broadband cap? Just that it easily beats dsl ...
Yea..it would go something like that.  |

kudos:2 | Going over 250GB doesn't get you charged for more bandwidth, it gets you on the "potential future non-customer" list. |

Yea..it would go something like that. recently i was tinkering around with the mcafee security that comes with the service and in the tools section/traffic monitor, at the top is a drop down selection area where i clearly see my usage.
maybe someone with more time can see it and post the screen shot. i dont have the time for that. but give me credit for my findings please! |

As long as you're imagining things on a public forum, why not include winning the lottery and getting a pony?  |

That's a good ballpark figure but it probably isn't 100% accurate. I doubt it tracks anything but you're usage on that computer, and even then it's probably a little bit less than what you've actually used on that pc.

this is for all the people that are ignorant and say things like this
"Me: Why the hell did my internet bill go up this billing cycle?
Comcast: You've gone over your 250gig cap sir.
Me: What? I wasn't aware of this?"
and yes McAfee is FREE when you are a Comcast customer.
(Props to Seano)
