Kendall, FL | Newsgroup.... The additional storage space doesn't interest me. What would interest me is if Comcast increased the newsgroup cap from 2GB to say 20GB.. yaa baby.  | |

With FF and an extension, I can use Gmail for storage and it's over 2gb and almost 3!! With the std Comcast account, you can have 7 account names. With this change that means you can have up to 7 GB of free storage. That is nice for backing up files, pics, etc. And it is free.

When people visit my Comcast personal website, does the bandwidth used by those visitors count against my secret ceiling? | |

But when you allow 1,000's of world wide users on the Internet and various for-profit business "share" your PC, Hardrive and, more specifically, the service Comcast sold only to you, that does count towards your usage cap. | |

Sorry sir.. despite appearances, this isn't a bash (insert business name here) site. Not all opinions will follow yours. Wow, LeftOfSanity, just wow. You have made exactly no sense in your response to me.
What exactly did I accuse you other people of? That you have responded to this thread a lot? As of 19:42:00 09/25/2007 you had 8 out of the 45 posts for this topic (17.8%). And out of the 15 posts you have made in the last 14 days, only 2 seem to be not related to Comcast.
Show me in my one comment where I was disagreeing with yours or anyone else's ideas.
I did offer an opinion, but it was not a bash against Comcast, it was making the assumption that you work for Comcast. Digging a little deeper, I do believe now more than ever, that you do indeed work for Comcast. That's ok.
So here's my question (again):
When people visit my Comcast personal website, does the bandwidth used by those visitors count against my secret ceiling?
Now I know you might not be allowed to answer that (that's ok, just say so) or you might not have the answer to the question (that's ok, just say so).
Thanks and have a great evening.

Is additional storage space something that interests you as an ISP provided service? Do you use the storage space provided by your ISP? Maybe the interest has been lethargic because the amount of space and monthly traffic caps have been so limited, it didn't make any sense to use it? | |

Perhaps we are upset because we simply do not know whether we are going to exceed these limits. Try driving around in a town with no posted speed limits, but where you could get pulled over at any time for speeding, and that speed violation can vary from one speed to the next, even on the same stretch of road. People would probably complain about that too, even if they had not yet been pulled over for speeding. | |

I think the whole issue is with saturating your upload 24/7. Far less bandwidth there | |

After Verizon erased my account when I switch to Comcast, I now keep all my email and web storage on a third party web hosting company server. I want access to my e-mail or data regardless of ISP I chose to use in the future.
I know what some will say, I can get mine for free. Well for ten dollars a month I have three accounts, separate e-mail web page and domain names for each account, I am unmolested by ads, MySQL support and can run my own scripts. | |

2 edits | 1GB of files uploaded at 356 kb/s, how impressive! Considering the molasses slow upload speeds you have to deal with, I'm sure that comcast is quite confident that no one is actually going to be able to use such space to its full potential. That is other than a few that are willing to grow old and die waiting for an upload to complete, like the tortoises in their commercial. | |

| Re: 1GB of files uploaded at 356 kb/s, how impressive! I get about 6MB down and 1.5MB up (in CO) with my basic comcast account, I think that is not bad for $50 a month.
I use all 7 of my accounts web space (have a photo album of my kids) and am just about out, so far, comcast has not upgraded any of my id's, but I too got the mail about it.
So my answer to the original question, I think it's a great idea to up the space! | |
