What? You're all surprised by this? A slap on the hand. Bad Comcast! Bad!
Maybe this will mean them FINALLY coming out with a tool for the end user that allows us to check our ACTUAL consumption. If they are going to enforce caps, they will have to be "transparent". 
And heck, thats all I really want. If you're going to set a limit, I want to have the ability to see how close to the limit I might be.
(Although, honestly, if they go with 250, I'd be lucky to even consume a third of that, but I'd like the ability to CHECK that.)
Ohhhh....the downloaders are going to be UPSET at this. But we shouldn't be shocked. Its not like Comcast said a dirty word on Public TV or showed a body part or something. |

The problem with that statement is, if Comcast is not telling people they are limited to how much downloading they can do, then they are wrong. I don't care if someone is downloading a terabyte a second, 24/7, its none of their business. To me, its akin to going to a buffet, and being told you can have as much as you want, so long as you don't have more than 3 plates. At a buffet you will have some who will fill 25 plates full, and some who will have only 1 or 2.
Personally, I dont download a lot. But, if I do, then why should I be punished if I download a movie this month, but not next?
Comcast should just take people's money, and shut up. |

| The thing is Comcast DOES NOT tell their customers their service is unlimited in anyway. they have stopped using that word for at least a year.
They just fail to say what the caps are in each area. But if they told then they'd have the bandwidth hogs still by using under the limit. It works very well for them with their invisible caps in heavy markets/nodes.
and as far as your buffet some will tell you its time to go if you've been there long enough eating. unlimited is NOT always unlimited their is a limit on everything. |
