Re: New bandwidth plan in Nashville

i've used terabytes in some months
it is not enforced everywhere

so what's the word on extreme 50 users and 105 users? We deserve a bigger cap

No, YOU don't! This is the process of codifying it, so they can charge for YOUR excesses.

I agree with a bigger cap for people on blast, extreme 50, and 105 tiers. I think it would be a good way for Comcast to tout those tiers with higher bandwith caps. Imagine if it was 400gb for blast, 500gb for extreme 50, and 750gb for extreme 105. That would be awesome, and many power users would pay extra for the speed.

But they don't have too. People already willingly pay more for the faster speed, and we are seeing on the east coast (so far) they will give you a big speed bump for free. Now they can see what you (the collective you) will pay for capacity.
The speed restriction were there only until the network could handle D3 speeds fairly consitently.
