Re: how much for similar fios? Last I checked you were trying to prove that Comcast, with all those extra features, couldn't possibly be charging more for their business class service based on caps or lack thereof. I on the other hand think it's one of the major differentiating points between residential and business class service. You then changed the argument to something else and won that new argument.

kudos:1 | I think I've been very consistent... I don't think I've changed my argument at all.
The added features of the business tier cost whatever they do... and if you say the cost of bandwidth is cheap, then I completely agree.
Why the cap for business is so much higher (10-12 times higher perhaps) for nearly the same price after the cost of these "features" are removed is very clear to me...

Comcast doesn't want you using anything else but OnDemand or their premium channel services... for which they have a revenue stream.
Again, the cap is not about addressing congestion (to quote JL - an authorized Comcast representative on DSLR)
»Re: Bandwidth Limits/Congestion Management - All discussion here
It's about preserving a market and preventing other viable options from developing. This under the guise of so-called "excessive use".

kudos:2 | However business users have received "the call" asking them to upgrade to a higher tier proportional to high bandwidth usage. So there is some sort of congestion at play here. |
