| Re: Needed for customers said by bender  :i'd like a fancy LCD display that hooks right up to the modem that announces when you've hit certain milestones (100gb, 150gb and so on). maybe it could start flashing or play some cool music too. even better, how about a ranking system for people to actually see how they do compared to other users. totally anonymous and on an opt-in basis only of course. Hahahahaha oh man, give customers the ability to truthfully see the average bandwidth usage? Oh man, you crack me up.
Next thing your going to tell me that Comcast was honest when they told everyone they *didn't* filter torrent traffic.
I really think this is just all hot air. Especially when a large ISP says that only 1% will actually hit the cap? Either thats total BS, or they wont "enforce" it. For example, if you use 251GB they will let you slide, but use 500GB they will throw the book at you kind of thing.
But, if they charge me 1 red penny over what my normal bill is, I am calling up and complaining/reporting to the BBB. Even if I was in the wrong, I still don't believe that caps are the solution to network congestion. Society doesn't learn, you must force its hands. If you don't want your network congested, make it so the users can't congest it. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best solutions. | |

The BBB is the bought and paid for whore for business. They don't give a damn about your consumer complaints. It's like going to the foxes guarding the henhouse and complaining that the guards are killing the hens.

| Re: Needed for customers Yes, the BBB is a bought-and-paid-for reputation service.
But, they've actually helped me more than once and they actually do help warn folks off of truly bad businesses.
The point is moot because Comcast isn't charging for overages.
