| Internet got cancelled
Comcast turned my internet off once again due to "abuse" of their download limit that they claim doesn't exist. I am waiting for them to call me back so I can complain. Has anyone else had their internet disconnected once again? When I originally spoke with the rep a few months ago he told me not to download "that much", meaning what I had downloaded the previous month. Since then I have not downloaded "that much". He never specifically said what their cap limit was. Do you think there is any chance I can get my service reconnected? |

Comcast can deny service to anyone for any reason, and in this case, may deny it based on the abuse issue. If so, they will require a lease or rental agreement, which shows you no longer live at the address...

As more bandwidth intensive content is offered the shared pipe of CATV will break down more and more. Get used to it. Net neutrality will make the shared pipe more congested and subject to abuse.
What happens to you people that have Vontage when CATV turns off your interweb? Ma Bell is dead and yet the people bitch. |

Do you think there is any chance I can get my service reconnected?
Considering that they've cut you off twice why would you want to go back?

Dude, that sucks, like the other poster said, why would you want comcast back if they disconnect you. It seems the limit is not a fixed amount and that is a real problem.
If you have any other choice i would start shopping araound. I have hit 400+gig a month at one point and never got a letter from any ISP before. |

Get a business account. You can download all you want on that. |

Wow! you must have been downloading a lot through your Comcast account. What the heck where you
downloading that exceeded their bandwidth limits?

| LOL. And you get to define that? How come "abuse" on a cable system (mostly Comcast cable systems in fact) is not "abuse" almost anywhere else? You don't see FiOS or DSL customers complaining about this, but you do see a constant parade of cable customers with this particular malady.
