Set the limits!!!!!Bandwith hog or no bandwith hog, there need to be limits set. Comcast has produced a misleading ad for their internet service. People have to understand that ELUAs are AGREEMENTS and only the government can set laws as far as I remember.
That being said, comcast can and will be held accountable (depending on what state we are talking about) to consumer protection laws. Their ads are misleading plain and simple.
There is no reason not to have hard limits set. | |

Re: Set the limits!!!!!Problem is courts are clueless about technology. SWBell did an ad mocking the slowness of cable(provider in that area was Pipeclog) and despite Pipeclog having 95+% utiliation of their backbone handoffs the judge ordered the ads removed. So you are facing an uphill battle in any type of court action. | |

Sure there is a reason. DSL providers would love nothing more than to be able to start an advertising campaign that targets Comcast as a *limited* service. Subsequently this cloak and dagger policy of invisible limits targeting what Comcast considers bandwidth hogs will continue until they are dragged into court...and they will be dragged into court as soon as they threaten/disconnect the wrong person. You can screw most of the people most of the time but you can't screw all of the people all of the time. | |

Seems hypocritical.
3mbps is a lot of bandwidth for your home user.
Maybe they just want to treat the "advanced user" more harshly, because they know with 3mbps they can download a lot of stuff in short time.
Yet they still give 3mbps to everyone. I don't think the average user would consume more than 2mbps (for streaming video, audio and mp3s, which is well below the 2mbps limit). Is the average user aware they theoretically have 2 T1's (minus the reliability) on their downstream? Almost seems like a speedtrap. | |

Re: Until the lemmings stop switchingI agree. If you have problems with your internet provider, cancel your account with them immediately. In fact, cancel any and all services you might be buying from that company. At least you will gain the satisfaction of them not bothering you, the paying customer, anymore. | |

Re: Until the lemmings stop switchingAnd you might as well move into a cave while you are at it.
In many areas you either have cable internet or dial up. Even on its worst day Comcast is faster than dial up. Many people aren't willing to go back to dialup after having been on a high speed connection.
Similarly after using OnDemand and getting broadcast HDTV channels through their cable many customers would rather cut the cable company some slack than switch.
Since cable companies pretty much do not compete with each other except in a few regions, there's no real reason for them satisfy customers. If one leaves, 5 will join because they have no choice. | |

Worse yet you could live here in DSL wasteland where a dial up connection with a 56K modem never connects any higher than 28KPS. The local telco are actually able to keep a straight face when they say that this LOS is acceptable. Of course the very next thing out of their mouths is "give us your money". The upshot is that you can either be screwed by comcast or you can be really screwed by SBC. | |

RidiculousWhile I'm not a Comcast customer, I think this is ridiculous.
Has anyone contacted their local media about this situation? I'm sure every market has at least a paper and news station that would like to sink their teeth into a story like this.
While they might not understand the specifics of speeds, I think more public coverage will get Comcast squirming and maybe some regulators to look at their business practices. | |

yep it is trueIt is true. Just got comcast 2 weeks ago and it was running at 3100 to 3300 I was a happy happy boy. Last Satday the 8th of Dec I had the comcast guy at my house to rewire my bed room after he left my speed went down to 1700.So I called Comcast and thay told me the speed is right. The other speed was just a test till thay roll out the new speed in 04.Mind you I wast told this by tek support in canada but the office here in Ft Lauderdale Fl knew nothing about the speed down going back down till the first of the year so seem one part of comcast has no idea what the other part is doing. In my short time dealing with Comcast I found them to talk out side of there months.

The bulletin boardIt's so hard to really know exactly what's going on - you rely on the trust you have for what others are saying.
Somehow, I feel that when something like this, for instance, hits "the front page", the conclusion has already been concluded, the outcome of the discussion has already been decided.
So I try to be that voice, saying "Hey, stop, chill out..." Don't trust people so blindly when they say this or that, even if they appear to be truthful, because often times, they don't know what's going on.
Again, this only affects you if you download a lot of stuff. In this case, you should look at Cox, and Time-Warner and see what those customers are dealing with in terms of data transfer limits, and guide yourself by that.
If you aren't quite that extreme, for the time being, you can breathe easier knowing that there isn't some limit that you have to watch out for, at least not yet. It's not like you are 1 gigabyte over and you are in trouble, but some ISP's are set up this way, so it's not unthinkable that Comcast might go that route as well.
The consensus here, at least, on this bulletin board, is that Comcast should set limits, and make them clear, and this will make it easier for the people who transfer a lot of data to know what's really going on. Which makes sense, but still, it's a move that comes out of desperation, based on evidence by anonymous posters posting on a bulletin board. Now if those posters wish to take the matter to a public forum, such as a courtroom, then it's no longer an anonymous thing and then we know, to a much greater extent, what is going on.
By default, when it comes to online stuff, we all know... don't trust anyone. Regardless, it looks like there is going to be LOTS of pressure on Comcast to set limits, and I do believe that the people here at Broadband Reports can be effective in getting Comcast to set limits. I hope that it doesn't happen, as do other folks hope that limits aren't set. Hopefully, if we speak up, our voices and opinions will be heard too.
I would understand the necessity of limits if there is a legal requirement for the limits to be there - if it is determined that Comcast cannot cut someone off for using too much network resources unless they define "too much", and of what "network resources". And even on a theoretical level, if any ISP has the power to be capricious, or even arbitrary, in their decisions to warn and disconnect people, there is a problem. Not that Comcast is doing that, but that they COULD do that because they don't have to tell you what you did wrong. Is that illegal? It looks like we are going to find out! And that's not a bad thing at all, really. So if it's legally required, I am all for it.
But actually, I think this argument is really about process, it's not really about whether or not data transfer limits suck or not (we all know they do) - it's about the process that people who are warned have to go through - and that this process doesn't work - (again, evidence from bulletin boards is not something to build a case on) - but look at Dell - Dell just stopped using call centers in foreign countries for tech support because customers were complaining.
I would seriously suggest that people try to imagine what it would be like dealing with Comcast if specific limits are imposed - it's going to be worse. So, I am leaving it there... I want my voice to be heard that I don't want someone else who uses 5 times as much bandwidth as me to have a hand in setting limits on millions of people's accounts (including mine) because of what essentially amounts to a "trial and error" process of attempting to deal with the problems of inadequate tech support and poor communication. Try DOWNloading LESS than 30 gigs and UPloading LESS than 7.5 gigs and THEN come talk to us after you do that for a few months. If you still have a problem, well, then, I think a lot more people are going to motivated to act. It's the freedom to download 31 gigabytes, or the freedom to upload 7.75 gigabytes - that's a significant freedom, and if Comcast is handing that out, I want it. I am sure many folks would agree with me on that one.
But, on the other hand, I completely agree that this is a problem - (based on, again, bulletin board evidence, which is by definition questionable ) - but I also don't understand why anyone would think that setting specific limits is going to solve this problem. The problem is tech support and communication, it's not the lack of restrictive data caps. And you don't need to read a bulletin board to figure that one out. | |

Get the media's attention on Comcast policiesSince the latest round of Comcast bandwidth suspension notices are going out in Pennsylvania, I think it would be a good idea to start with the media in Philadelphia PA (also the headquarters of Comcast). I have sent mail to each of the following media and government links to notify them of Comcast's illegal interpretation of its Fair Use policies. I would ask as many of you to also contact the links below and let them know what is going on here. I also sent and would advise sending links to this news item for their reference. The more complaints they get, the more likely we will start getting some real media attention on the matter.

If they say the limit is 90 movies per month, then wouldn't watching a free on demand choice also easily exceed this limitation? | |

The ins and outs of Comcastsaid by J D McDorce: The rhetoric out of Comcast in response to these reports seems to be that it is no big deal since only a handful of users are directly effected out of a customer base of millions.
This notion is absolutely correct. Since only a limited crackdown is being done, it is not becoming a major issue. Comcast is having people believe that file sharing is the soul source of there problems so people are thinking that they are only getting rid of the bad rats. In fact Comcast's crackdown will have a effect on everyone. It shows that Comcast will be able to charge more and provide less. I know some people are going to say that file sharers are what's causing all the problems. One way to pass the buck, lay blame on other people for using a service that states "unlimited". Then you have some people say, well just because it's unlimited doesn't mean you have to download all night. Your cable t.v. provided by Comcast is unlimited and I don't see people complaining about that. Comcast doesn't say that each household can only watch 3 hours of t.v. a day. I would imagine if Comcast said you were watching to much t.v. and we will disconnect you, then you would see all the complainers come out of the woodwork. The reason why DSL is thriving and increasing market share is because the telco's give people what they want. The telco's know that if they provide you with unlimited service that people will buy other services they provide. That's what you call keeping the customers happy, and making money to boot. Comcast's roll out of 3mb service doesn't mean jack if they don't give people what they want. Don't say that 3mb service is giving people what they want cause it doesn't. It comes down to the basic fact that Comcast is doing a reverse. Most ISP's use to be limited a long time ago, then they went to unlimited. Now as in the case with Comcast, they are going back to limited. I do believe there crackdown is having some effect on there sales cause Comcast changed there ads to say "always on" instead of "unlimited". Cause Comcast can't have unlimited service and in turn accuse people of being bandwidth hogs. The only way for Comcast's crackdown to backfire is for existing customers to dump there service and there needs to be a atmosphere where Comcast will have a hard time signing up new customers. If Comcast gets tax incentives paid for by taxpayers money, then you need to show them who is holding all the cards. This crackdown will also effect there existing customers but not in a way you may think. Comcast will able to charge more and give less and all the customers will be suckered in. | |

BBR sure seems determinedIt seems that BBR is bound and determined to get Comcast to set hard limits. Why is there another front page story, the last one was posted what? Two days ago? Four front page articles in total?
This topic has been discussed to death here on BBR. Let a court decide already. If there are this many people who are upset about it, let them take action. Go to your local legislators, call a lawyer, do whatever it is that you have to do in such a situation.
Why does it seem like BBR has taken this on as their own personal mission? You may be a great resource for high speed internet information. But you aren't the ones who should be pushing the matter to the extreme. Unless maybe some high ups behind BBR are Comcast customers. Then it makes it even worse. Using your "clout" to force what you think is right on all other Comcast customers.
I'm sick of hearing about it on here. Move on to something else already. Either that or change the name of the website. Because this one issue doesn't make up the entirety of what "BROADBAND REPORTS" are. Report something else already would you. | |

Damn, I am tired of this ....This "news" item is getting old ... just like a bunch of pack dogs whipping each other into a frenzy. Here's what I see: Comcast has a Terms of Service published on its website. Here it is: » www.comcast.net/terms/That is what you are agreeing to when you sign up for service. One of its provisions is Section 7c: quote: We may terminate this Agreement (i) at any time without prior notice if you fail to comply in full with any term of this Agreement, or (ii) for any other reason upon thirty (30) days notice to you.
Notice that they can cancel your account FOR ANY REASON with 30 days notice. ANY REASON. Now let's go on to the AUP, available here: » www.comcast.net/terms/use.jspThis is the relevant section: quote: Network, Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations
You must comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on the Service established by Comcast and its suppliers. In addition, you may only access and use the Service with a dynamic Internet Protocol ("IP") address that adheres to the dynamic host configuration protocol ("DHCP"). You may not access or use the Service with a static IP address or using any protocol other than DHCP unless you are subject to a Service plan that expressly permits otherwise.
You must ensure that your activity (including, but not limited to, use made by you or others of any Personal Web Features) does not improperly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the Service, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Comcast) an unusually large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Comcast's ability to deliver the Service and monitor the Service, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network Services.
Note that you do not have a say in what the limits are. Note that Comcast is under no obligation to disclose to you what those limits are if/as they are not specifically listed in the agreement. Note also that Comcast, as previously stated, can deep six your account on 30 days notice FOR ANY REASON AT ALL. This is what you agreed to the second the first bit flowed across the line. Everything else is just mental masturbation. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCEPT THE SERVICE. [NG]Owner | |

Dial Up!Just go back to Dial Up.. with the limited speeds Comcast allows.. you might as well be on DIAL-UP so you can transfer files up and down 24/7 with out anyone giving you any crap.
I'm sure Comcast would love your decisions.
But unfortunately not enough people would do it to make a difference. Too many people are willing to suck ass to make the protests worthwhile. | |

Money TalksMany Comcast broadband internet service subscribers also have Comcast as their cable television provider. Perhaps a better strategy for dealing with Comcast's ambiguous and/or seemingly unfair practices would be to tell them that if they "lose" you as an internet customer, they lose you as a cable television subscriber as well.
They are aggressively targeting DSL customers to get them to switch to Comcast broadband services and they are defending themselves from migration to satellite television service. Hitting them where it hurts most is probably the only effective method. | |
