| So they can't cap? If they have to provide 1Mbps for at least 18 hours a day then, you should be able to download 8.1GB a day if they cut off service after 18 hours. Which is 243GB a month. If this reasoning holds true then it looks as if Montgomery County is going to kick ass for broadband. If that cable company can handle the load then they will also be one of the best in the country. Unless they are still allowed caps. |

The document doesn't say that you can download 1Mbps for 18 hours a day. It merely says the cable operator has to be able to provide that RATE for 18 hours a day (and then only to the gateway).
As I recall, there is a minimum stated elsewhere in the same document that says consumers should be able to download no less than 3G/day and 30G/month.
As others have said already many times, these are really rock bottom standards which any broadband provider ought to be willing to agree they can provide. |
