Re: Comcast a "safe" isp?

i don't know, it's cable so it's probably something really low like 25-30GB per month.

It's nowhere near that low. There is no official capping, but people who were downloading in excess of 150-300GB per month got warning letters to cut back their usage.

at 25-35GB Comcast could care less.

When's the last time someone got a letter?
Afaik, they don't send those letters out anymore after they got a lot of heat from customers who were angry about that...that's what I heard atleast.

They're required to forward complaints to customers.. They can't just stop because Joe P2P is angry.

You're not looking at the big picture, those letters were for more than just P2P.

That includes people who were sharing family photos and movies, streaming radio stations and etc as well as P2P that got people sent letters and got them, as well as others, annoyed with comcast's invisible caps. It affected those who didn't get letters because they didn't know how much bandwidth would be too much because comcast would not put out any figures.
