kudos:1 | CAP? I read less than 10% of Comcast's HSI customers come anywhere near the 250GB cap. The usage meter being rolled out is intended to make the heavy users, the 90%tile, pay their "fair share" for their bandwidth. If they get there that much faster, then great.

kudos:3 | What a nonsensical post.
When you say the 90% of of users don't use what they pay for... umm.. that's like saying you buy 800 minutes on a cell phone and loose them if you don't use them.
Look, RESIDENTIAL USE has always been stated and has a very factual implied definition which people like to over look because it doesn't fit their own personal mentality of what THEY want.. the fact is, you buy it or you don't. People asked for caps to be defined and comcast stepped up and did that.. now people don't like it even though 250 is far more than any other provider has given AND most people don't reach it. Comcast considers 250 to be fair.
The fact is, if you're on a residential line, and 95% of people are using far less than 250, then 250 is reasonable. You've also heard many people that are "power users" say they are only using about 100 to 200 a month, and you ignore that too. If people are going way over 250 a month, at this day and age, then no, they are not using their fair share.. they're using far more than that.
You're post makes it sound like if they go over their cap that they do pay their fair share - the fact is, they aren't.. not according to the provider and the TOS the consumer agreed too. And, in the end, it's the provider that sets the rules... and 250 is FAR more than reasonable for now. |
