That's the reality of shared services. | |

I don't think you'll find truely unlimited in that price range.*
while at $140 you are paying a share towards the plant expansion capital cost and something towards bandwidth/useage, you do have to realize that even if the providers usage cost is small per unit, it does add up quickly.
People that expect their overall internet/video/phone monthly costs to be greatly reduced while getting more "free" stuff will probably be disappointed to learn, that as CATV income disappears those costs will be transfered to the HSI side.
* FIOS and a few cable providers who have not yet jumped on the cap/overage bandwagon (because they are either attempting to grow or maintain market share/ penetration.) eventually will.
Like everyone else, at some point they too will have to address capital cost repayment and useage based cost recovery. | |

they were one of those CATV operators I mentioned, now or soon facing fios directly have choosen to scrifice profit to maintain market share.
If you want to get an idea how well investors (you know the people that loan the company money for the improvments you seek?) feel about that look up CVC's stock price over the last couple years. | |

If you want to get an idea how well investors (you know the people that loan the company money for the improvments you seek?) feel about that look up CVC's stock price over the last couple years. The size of the network doesn't matter..its the technology powering the network that matters, and OOL is using the same stuff Comcast is.
A OOL neighborhood is no different than a Comcast neighborhood on D3. Comcast just prefers to keep charging its users for less than what they COULD be.
For you people paying $140 for 50/10 I hope that Comcast lube is working out for you. | |

1 edit | said by Assman:Stop bitchin about the cap, seriously, who here uses more than 250 a month? I do, every month. I average 700-850 GB/month, but I also have business class internet. I have had that usage for about 1 year and Comcast as not said a word so its within usage limits for the business class packages.
Back on topic... I wonder what the upload speeds would be on the new 100mbps package? This might be when they introduce upstream channel bonding...

1 edit | Re: Off topic cap talk The 250GB cap is for residental accounts. Thats why Comcast recommends users who use more then that have a business account. | |
