Which is a point from previously, how is this even legal? How do you know Comcast doesn't hire some goons to DDoS some customer so they can jack their rates?
A) Show me where Comcast says you pay extra for going over the cap

B) people that have to get internet from mobile companies ( and I'm talking about accessing it through a PC not a cell phone ) only have 5 GB monthly caps and overages of $51.20 per GB.
Do you even read DSLR? I suppose not, so let me clue you in.
Time Warner
Frontier

Even though Time Warner killed their own plans for imposing fees, that doesn't mean the idea isn't totally out the window. I REALLY DOUBT Comcast put these meters in for their own health. Would you pour money into a system if you didn't have plans to offset the cost of that system sometime in the future?

Again, my point still stands - How is this legal and who is going to make sure the meters are actually...accurate oh and this DSLR post?
If you are willing to put your total trust in Comcast and them keeping the meter accurate, I think you are just a fool. I am sure phone companies pad bills (at the very least charge you minutes for times you aren't even talking), but who is to say anything different? The non-smart/feature phones really don't have an API to track that data, and carriers push those out like hot cakes. The other types of phones do have APIs but no one has actually stepped up to the plate and compared data.

If you think companies are actually honest, then why do we have government agencies go out and check gas pumps?

We need checks and balances in every system.

Yes I do read this site every day. You bring up Time Warner and Frontier and the article is about COMCAST. Once again you do not show ONE link where Comcast says it has a overage fee. Until them it's SPECULATION.

A) I don't live in a Comcast area. So no need for me to worry about usage meters.

B) I'm not sure why you are getting pissy at ME? It was asked how it it legal. All I did was show how mobile companies have very low caps, their own usage meters and very high overage rates. How you interpret that as being pro-Comcast or pro-caps or pro-overage fees is beyond me. If it should be illegal for Comcast to do then logically it should be illegal for mobile companies to do.

Are you one of the few people who welcome high overages and low caps?
Or how about meters that aren't accurate?

All I can say to you is that reading comprehension isn't your forte. Please go back and actually READ what I wrote, then see how stupid your replies to me are.

Please post where I said that I'm one of the few people who welcome high overages and low caps? Or how about meters that aren't accurate?
