OMG! Killing teh Cap! |
said by ptrowski:Again, higher speeds does not always equate to people downloading more.... EXACTLY!!
From 3mbps to 16mbps - my usage has not increased.
Even if I decide to get D3 - when ever it does get lit up here - I seriously doubt I will use that much more.. if any at all.
Maybe on the upload side, doing backups.
Faster is faster.
Faster doesn't mean more, it means less time for current tasks(if the source can push it).
What caps?

The fact that you are unable to use to its potential what you pay for does not mean that those that could use what they pay for are wrong in their desire to utilize the product they have legally purchased.

except in DOCSIS 3 case its not faster = more, its more channels = more... the cap claim was because they said the channel was congested... now you have at least 2 channels for downstream (and possibly up to 8 depending on chipsets, etc) so the DOCSIS 3 != higher caps kinda goes out the window because we ARE allowing more bandwidth for usage |

Also, the speeds tiers are ridiculous. D3 can do 160 (4 Channel) or 320 (8 Channel) yet they are not even offering speeds like Cablevision's (Optonline) BOOST DOCSIS2 30Mbs (really 38Mbs uncapped) let alone what D3 can actually deliver. |

You abused Comcast, they booted you. Get over it!
I am quite able to, just I prefer to use it as I do - even though that cuts into you like a knife.
99.9% of Comcast customers have no issue with any sort of cap - whether it was the Inviso-Cap or the now stated 250GB cap(even though it isn't set in stone).
*YOU* did what you did! They cut you off.
Doesn't matter what/where/how/why - game over!
You need to let it go.

There you go, that is why the video downloads from other providers ARE a problem. They are varied and cheap and high resolution.

The fact that you are unable to use to its potential what you pay for does not mean that those that could use what they pay for are wrong in their desire to utilize the product they have legally purchased. If you want to talk about legality, let's talk about the most common reason for high bandwidth usage. If anyone has a right to complain about the caps, it's not them. Maybe I'll whine that clothing manufacturers made my pants pockets smaller and now I can't shoplift as much stuff at once. |

Re: when will they drop the caps? $12.00 for a comcast porn show vs, what, $30 on line for poor quality junk? In this case, porn from Comcast is cheap compared to porn on the net. |
