said by espaeth:said by sturmvogel:Except that they take the money and do not upgrade the infrastructure. How do you explain the well documented DOCSIS 3.0 rollout if they "do not upgrade the infrastructure" ? The real big issue with infrastructure is the cable. Docsis 3 is just a bandaid to cram more into the same obsolete cable system. A true upgrade would be to have real fiber connections to their customers, as FiOS does. That would be a true upgrade that would warrant all that talk about investing in infrastructure.
The much hyped Docsis 3 upgrade shows its worth in the fact that the same 250 GB cap remains regarding of the upgrade status.

said by rit56:Do you work for Comcast? Your defense of a blatant move to totally screw customers who are forced to buy a product from a monopoly indicates that. It's a modern world, the world has changed. The switch providers or drop the service argument doesn't float anymore. Internet access is now a utility just like electricity and these companies were given monopolies and now they are abusing their market position and need to be regulated. Why does the anon troll need to work for Comcast? Comcast is not proposing low balled metered overages, its TWC and now AT&T. If ANYTHING Comcast has used VERY GENEROUS caps if that's where its going I would rather be on Comcast than TWC...seriously though

Let's make one thing clear: Neither Time Warner, AT&T or any other company planning on charging by the byte is lacking either capacity or profits. The capacity issues are nullified by technology and smart management, the profit issues is nullified by their 10k's (annual reports). Time Warner is making money hand over fist, and AT&T even more so.
When I see accurate, complete information from TW or AT&T which support their claims I'll gladly agree to their demands. These people have ulterior motives for moving to this billing method, and it has absolutely nothing to do with helping their customers. |

said by JsonOD :
Neither are bad. If you put on your ISP hat and think about what each do, you'll rightly conclude that caps protect your infrastructure investment, and metered billing protects you from going broke.
Except when you're NOT going broke and having record profits with the current billing method. The metered billing is about even MORE profits and discouraging use. Win, win, win for you... |
