1 edit | I doubt it. Maybe a restructuring, but thats it. Would be nice if they offered other higher bandwidth use tiers however or maybe a small charge (say 15 cents per GB used over the cap). I think that is fair and reasonable and a better alternative than disconnecting heavy users. A 12/2 HSI connection is base priced at $42.95 and has a 250 GB cap. If someone used 250 GB over the cap then it would cost them an extra $37.50 that month. This way heavy users have the option of using more but will police themselves. If they want to use more then get a business connection. I do think however that the 50/10 option should come with a higher cap though, say 500 GB.
I am a bit disgusted over the video portion however because governments tack so many extra taxes and fees to it. Add to that, I think too many cable networks have far too many infomercials and Comcast should use this as an argument for a rate DECREASE from those program vendors.
As for HSI, I used to complain but now the speeds have gotten so good that I can say I am happy.
On a side note, I just rebuilt a computer for a friend of mine at work. He lives in the sticks so dialup is his only option. Just tonight he brought it back to me so I could add another piece of hardware and he asked me to download Avast for him because after 3 days he could never get a completed download.
It took me 11 seconds to download that 44 MB file. Needless to say, I did a printscreen of the download dialog and saved the .jpg for him to look at in horror  |
