Comcast is likely available in the area, though I'd rather not get it. I checked with RCN's website for service, and they do indeed service Watertown, MA. My question is: unlike Comcast, does RCN have a bandwidth limit? I do indeed do alot of [legal] downloading using Bit Torrent and otherwise, and I'd hate to be limited to anything per month, i.e. 250 GB ala Comcast.

Isn't that easy? yes, it does. Btw , I don't watch youtube at all. And 1 very important point, What it advertise was "Unlimited" high speed internet. If it set a cap , we should be able to sue that company for dishonest advertising.

It may come as a shock to you but not everyone who uses a computer spends hours on Youtube. Hope that my parents get someone a bit more empathetic than you if ever they need the services of a helpdesk. I agree with you on one point, Comcast do suck but for 101 reasons other than the one you complain about.

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.
