Lets see................Comcrap is giving me "what I want?" Caps, can't download anything on BT, constant service outages, constantly moving stations from the base cable pkg to the digital only and sending out mailers saying this is an IMPROVEMENT?! Oh yeah I'm getting everything I want except for some vaseline and a kiss after the total screwing I get

I think these results show that Comcast continues to give customers what they want despite the continual bleating on this site.

You may not have been one of those people but there were plenty out there complaining that CC was sending letters to people telling them that they were using to much bandwidth well now it is in plain black and white and i still see the complaining when will it stop.

"Really? Because I gotta tell you, I didn't exactly ask for Caps nor Traffic Shaping. Nor did any of my neighbors to my knowledge."

Really you werent one of the people complaining that CC has an imaginary cap and they need to put it in writing what the acceptable use is. You may not have been one of those people but there were plenty out there complaining that CC was sending letters to people telling them that they were using to much bandwidth well now it is in plain black and white and i still see the complaining when will it stop.

"They didn't always send letters, they also used obnoxious, accusatory phone calls. And while I complained about the hidden cap, I NEVER wanted to just know what it was, I was against the cap altogether.'

How do you know they didn't send letters? Ever get the call?? I visited many homes for various reasons where people said they didn't get letters, when I told them they did, as the wife was walking out of the kitchen with a letter saying "honey.. I we got this a few weeks ago, I thought it was an advertisement offer".. and it was the letter.

And, you can be against the caps all you want.. I'm against being charged $0.40 cents for a slice of cheese on my Whopper, but it's how it's sold so I have to pay it if I want it. (It used to be included, but now it's extra) Things change.. and precious broadband, still one of the cheapest in home services provided, is not exempt from change.

What people, on this very site, don't realize, is that every day they come here and bitch about just how important it is to their survival, their very existence, and just how much they use it for everything, they are telling the providers "CHARGE ME MORE!! CHARGE ME MORE!!!"

When you make this service THAT important, and you TELL them it's THAT important to you, it all the sudden becomes of more.. "VALUE" to you.. your own importance doesn't equate cheaper prices.. it means they know you're going to pay for it becuase you can't live without your drug.

To this day, the average $35 price tag on internet is not going to catch the attention of anyone to do anything to drop your price ore remove caps.

You, and many that complained, DID ask for caps..

said by fiberguy :

The only one spinning is you.

Are you enjoying going through my post history and responding to everything? Sounds like at troll you be.

You need to grasp the English language.. yes, people did ask for caps.. you can ask for caps with out actually asking for them. I don't think I need to educate you on how communications work, however, when people push the limits and play games by running servers, and downloading illegal content against the TOS and then threaten law suits and regulatory action where not was ever needed, that is asking for caps.

Many people that get their butts kicked don't "ask" to get them kicked, but their actions sure ask for it sometimes.

And, for the record, while there was a suspected cap of 250, it was loosely enforced based on the node usage, which is perfectly valid.. some people could go to TBs of transfer, while others got hit at 300.. they were not enforced unless they impacted the node. Now, with all the bitching and complaining, caps were in fact asked for.

If you want to know your usage, install a meter.. their available to anyone that wants to get and install one.

It's not called spin.. but nice try. What IS spin, however, is you calling them dishonest.. there was never an established protocol, but again, you people wanted one, and you got it. You can't enforce something for a few that cried out and asked, you have to enforce them for everyone. The trouble makers, the 1% of the customers out there making the most noise, caused this for everyone... but chances are, you are never going to see that.. so why bother.
