Re: Comcast Account Suspended for going over "limit" said by deadmeat:
Doesn't the TOS say that if you upload more than such and such in a 24 hour period your abusing the service?
DeadMeat, I assume you mean download.. How the hell could you possible upload TOO much on a 128k (or 256K, whatever it may be these days) link???
So now, Comcast is going to up their d/l speed so that customers can potentially reach their monthly maximum sooner?? My God, I'm glad I left them long ago.. What a bunch of bull poopie..
Bob0000, got any other possibilities for high speed internet by you?? You might want to explore other options and tell Comcast to go f*ck themselves.. You really do feel much better afterward.. Trust me, I know.. |

Let me inform you on the simple commercial realities of providing residential broadband. You do *not* pay the actual cost of providing the available bandwidth 24/7. You pay for an oversubscribed link, which under normal use should be sufficient for most people to attain their advertised speeds. If everyone ran full bore 24/7 we'd all be crawling.
That's just the simple fact. Now I'm not defending Comcast, and they should publish their limits but we all need to recognize this is a fact of residential broadband.
flame away.

Running any type of servers will cause the Comcast Commie Brigade to terminate your account.

Agreed that users shouldn't be downloading 24/7, that just pisses off your neighbor who is trying to read his email.
Comcast is the cable god in most systems, if you don't play by there rules then your subject to termination. That's why they have such a grey area for the AUP and TOS.
No flame necessary. |

First you accuse him of being a criminal, now you want to play the glutton card.
Are you a Comcast employee? What is your obsession with blaming the victim here when it has nothing to do with the issue at hand?

I did not accuse anyone of being a criminal, I asked a question - I did not see his earlier threads and was not accusing anyone - just looking for the reason, knowing that many people have been terminated for uncapping.
And no I'm not a comcast employee. And I would also like comcast to come out and tell us what the caps are otherwise it's kind of hard to know what not to do if you have been warned. But you have to realise that you do not cover cost for using your full bandwidth 24/7.

| "But you have to realise that you do not cover cost for using your full bandwidth 24/7."
and this is the endusers' fault how?
they're playing the numbers game, gambling that the majority of people who are VASTLY OVERCHARGED for the bandwidth they use, i.e. little old ladies reading their grandkids' email and looking at eBay, will compensate for the few "power users" out there. The problem is that Corporate tends to view anyone who knows how to configure an account in Outlook Express as a 'power user' and had no real clear idea on what people are doing....
ps and by 'they,' i obviously mean 'we,' as anyone who sees
