It was recently announced that comcast is limiting bandwidth usage to 250 GB a month per customer because they are crying out loud that their pipes can’t handle the load some Internet abusers produce. They claim the normal Internet user only use 3 GB of bandwidth a month? Who are those users? My grandma?
A normal user in today’s world probably use 3 GB of bandwidth a day watching videos on youtube alone, then another 1 GB downloading songs or videos from Limewire, and probably a few MBs checking e-mails or browsing through facebook or myspace. how comcast can assume normal users only use 3 GB of bandwidth a month? Are they checking statistics from this generation?
I regularly watch TV episodes and movies on the Internet on my home computer, so probably Comcast will suspend my service or call me to warn me of my heavy Internet usage, that’s fine, is been awhile I’ve been pissed at their service, so now is a good time to get RCN as my Internet provider.
It is fine grandma you can keep Comcast, just remember to limit checking your Juno e-mail account, otherwise Comcast will suspend your account as well.
You think that sucks, Comcast in Fort Wayne is limiting people to a DAILY bandwidth which is under 5gb…which is WAY below 250gb a month.
They are also giving information to the government…from a techs mouth no less. He wouldn’t go further into it since there was an email posted some time back stating ANY Comcast employee talking about ANYTHING like that would be fired.
