| Already switched Bye comcast.
5 computers, a laptop, a tivo, cell phones that use the wireless too. Comes close to 250GB every month, not much torrents even.
Comcast just doesnt fix issues, see my posts if you dont believe me.
Guess i should call comcast and turn it off too. | | |

West Hartford, CT | This is EXTORTION This is ridiculous, the FEDS need to step in and do something about this.
I got preschool kids that are on the web watching video clips everyday (Disney, Cartoon Network, Noggin, etc.)
My wife is on the web watching music/videos almost every night.
I stream at about 3/4 soccer games on the net every weekend. Games a few times a week and torrent some anime almost everyweek.
All these activitites are LEGAL. With a CAP of 50GB, I don't stand a chance.
This is EXTORTION by the Telco/Cable. | |
| if you signed up for their service you agreed to all that legal crap, thus basically allowing for caps. by definition alone for 'extortion' i wouldn't call caps extortion as long as the cap is reasonable size and overage fee is reasonable. making an oversimplification and ignoring many things, caps is really not much different than: paying for gas by volume, electricity by kilowatt-hours, long distance by minutes, cell phone usage by minutes, water usage by gallons, and so on.
before anyone says i support caps, i also don't like the idea of caps in general, especially absurdly low caps.
with all this caps crap going on, i wonder how well a caching proxy server would do to reduce bandwidth... | |
