Re: Comcast greed said by ztmike:Or the fact that Comcast caps the Docsis 3 speed tiers at 250GB/month (no different than the non D3 tiers) so even if D3 tiers were available, it would be a waste of money. Some argue that because you have a faster speed tier, doesn't mean you will download more..I say you do. The fact that you have faster speeds you would be downloading more because well..your not waiting forever to download that one item anymore, so you can go on to your next download. Or the fact that people would be uploading more, and at a faster rate. /End rant I would hate to see if you were a TW customer with a 40GB cap. |

That 40gig doesn't cover their WHOLE USER BASE, so until it does, that's a moot argument.
Point being..Docsis 3 is not changing a damn thing.

For people bitching about caps that won't hit the vast majority of Comcast customers. Nope, not a damn thing is changing for those people. |

What if you were one of their users who had a 40GB cap? |
