| said by TheFake007  : look, I hate the idea of invisible caps as much as the next guy, but comcast is the only provider in my area. I would rather go with broadband than without, so ascertaining where the cap is is quite advantageous. The problem is Comcast really has no incentive to publish any hard cap number. It would give their competitors an immediate advantage, plus in the past at least, the actual cap varied between locales and served as a kind of network maintenance tool in problem areas. Having the flexibility by not making a cap known is in their best interest.
I really don't think it's about bandwidth costs anyway, it's provisioning and what effect opening the throttle will have on their existing infrastructure and customers habits. |
