Boston Globe Discovers Invisible Comcast Caps
Also discovers that video demand pressures capacity...
We've enjoyed the tug of war among analysts that is the debate over whether cable networks have enough broadband capacity. The latest proclamation is courtesy of IDC Research and the Boston Globe, who take a look at Comcast's decision to boot egregious downloaders (something we've been talking about for years). They've come to two aging conclusions: Comcast needs to communicate better when it comes to caps, and video demand requires infrastructure upgrades (shocking, both).

Poster above me is an "IDIOT"

Anti Business? Wait... so as a CONSUMER who has very few choices, we should sit down, pay the bill, and accept what we get? Seriously? Ok buddy, if you buy a car that's a Lemon DON'T complain. Once again, it's anti business that you complain. Should you win, that business will lose money fixing or replacing your car. Better yet, if you buy a product and it's under warranty, DO NOT USE the warranty. Warranties are ANTI BUSINESS. Comapanies lose money on sales when items are exchanged. If you want to be a top notch consumer.. REBUY the product.... Now you see how stupid your comment seems?

So call me a bit picky, but we're one of those countries PAYING the most for our internet. Hell, half of europe has 10mbit+..... Sure their government subsidizes it but let me ask you.. How does my tax dollars going to build a bridge that costs 300 million in ALaska or the 10s of billion in pork barrel spending not fall under the same guise? I'd rather MY TAX DOLLARS were used wisely to once help companies build a better infrastructure and give me incentive to do so. We pay taxes. We pay these guys A LOT per month... My bill for 5mbit is 55 dollars a month. Give me a break that these companies can't afford to build out and expand....Karl Marx? NO. Reality from someone with a BRAIN? Yes

Enough trolling, Karl. Can we go just one day without a post that's anti-business or pro-piracy? It's far from a unanimous opinion that Comcast should publicize its caps.
