Re: I still don't agree that knowledge = Greater use

A couple years ago I would have agreed that its difficult to actually consume so much data. But, with HD movies at around 9GB a pop (even more if not reencoded to DVD9 size), it's pretty easy to actually utilize a lot of gigs now.

Couple that with 8+mbps speeds even those huge data files don't really take that long to download. You can blow through that stated "90GB cap" in a day.

OK...Download, burn, delete.

Alright, I can see that. Even still, I think that the amount of people that would do that are still small enough to not impact a network if Comcast did state a hard line of acceptable usage.
