Re: Comcast again starts to cut off Internet bandwidth hogs
this has nothing to do with net neutrality, nothing is being hindered at all. And the high usage cutoff is just that, high usage cutoff. You can have Internet and no cable or no phone so that would have nothing to do with any bundles. Also the people impacted by this are what? approx. 1,100 people out of comcast as a whole? People who in most cases are warned and dont curb usage. And also in most cases people doing massive downloading on what is an ever increasing debate of legality (copyright infringment). | |

Yes, I agree, but this will not necessarily be the case in a very short time. Soon, people will be legally downloading 720p HD movies from Web sites like the iTunes store, and we'll need the bandwidth to download whatever we need or want. In some cases, people will be replacing services they once received from the cable companies, which are used to operating like monopolies (which is going to have to change). Let's face it, bandwidth and Internet speeds in the U.S. are slow compared to some other nations. Our nation is technologically behind, and the Cable TV industry's very slow conversion from analog-to-digital is part of the reason why. | |
