Re: I still don't agree that knowledge = Greater use
I'd tend to agree. These days they have shied away from using the word "Unlimited" to avoid the legal consequences but have done nothing to disperse the public misconception that it is unlimited, and since they don't tell you it's capped, in fact, they deny it if asked, people DO assume it's unlimited.
Thus the bad press every time a heavy user gets stomped on.

Other than DSLReports, most news outlets that report the bad press have no clue what they are talking about. They only see 1 side of the story.
Every time a user comes here complaining they got cut off from Comcast because they downloaded 500GB .. or even worse, 1 TB in a month.. I smile, pat my cable modem, and enjoy watching them whine how they called and threatened to leave and go to DSL. |

They only see 1 side of the story. It's not about the facts but perception. My local TV channel did a story about Comcast cutting off people. There were some facts but I'll bet money that people only heard "Comcast cut off someone's internet."
Here is the story:
