Re: To the whiners...
said by baineschile  :For everyone who complained and moaned about Comcast's 250 gig cap, its now looking pretty attractive with time warner and att's recent announcements. I never thought it would happen. You would think that in areas that do not have u-verse that At&t would implement some web page that links to all sorts of videos that can be watched online for free, to hurt Comcast. I guess I should have seen it coming since it competes directly with u-verse. If I get capped, I will go with the provider. with the highest caps. Anything under 32g cap is a joke. You can pull that down in a month with dial-up.

| Sad thing is that a 1Mbps (lets just assume 1Mbps total) connection can do over 300GB/month... and that's assuming just one way traffic.
This has been manufactured to do 2 things:
1. Generate revenue (duh) by either charging for overages, or by having people 'fear' the cap, and move to a higher tier.
This is similar to a voice plan on a cell phone.
2. End of the all you can eat methodology of bandwidth - all must suffer. These companies don't want you to replace their TV service with an online competitor.
