Oh man this is going to suck especially since I do stream a lot of anime. All I can say is so it's finally starting over here now huh..?

And internet was meant to be free for everyone in its original concept and ongoing to its philosophy, thank you who ever ruined it for all of us D=

According to my router, I've used 18.5 gigs on a currently 18 hour old lease. If they ever "warned me", they'd lose a customer and i'll figure out some other way to download what I want.

It's starts out nice, but watch over time how that cap limit grows smaller and smaller.

As if America's ISPs weren't loaded with crap already.

Soon we'll have ostriches on wheels powering up our internet connections.

you go around the world to Japan and the have 250gbps connections, yes thats right, they can download the ENTIRE comcrap bandwith in one second. Guess what they also have NO caps.

Comcast is either lagging WAY behind other providers, and need to step it up, or are completely lying to their customers for some extra money. I take option number two because no other providers are doing this at all. People need to cancel their comcast service and go elsewhere, you all stay with them and guess what....nothing changes!

edit @below I always thought these numbers meant general area's anyways lol, my bad

I can't believe how much my country is getting ripped of in terms of internet. I have one of the more expensive connections out of everyone that I know and I can only get 12GB a month. I would literarily club a seal to death for 'only' 250GB a month.

PS: 'Club a baby seal to death' is not what I would literarily do.

Time Warner pulled this Sh!t on us. We all called in and threatened them. The cut that off quick. Bandwidth limits will kill gaming. Don't put up with it. Voice in. And take control!

Call in and tell them no! If you let them fvck you they will.

I guess 360 fans are ok with the limit on bandwidth, being used to being fvck over daily

that supports 2 computer and my PlayStation, Im pretty sure that uses up 70 percent of my internet speed; lets see if the throttle me lol.

Wait, this story isn't right.

Verizon Fios! My wife's mom has it. Fiber Internet is where it's at. I wish they had that whereby live.

othere then browins webiste and suchi dl like 300 mega a week i strem maybe 500 and if im playing hawx,,, i play hawk for 10 hours
fortuirntly i have no vcap yet

sorry for english taken sleeping tablets

This is why Net Neutrality needs to happen. If not who knows what these greedy ISP will do.

Edit: I know something was up when my internet for a whole week dropped near the same time at nighttime. Neighbors ate up the bandwidth so Comcast probably cut the connection off till the morning.

damn that is lame

Time-Warner did the same thing as was mention early in this post.

The customer base was furious, complaining, writing letters, and threaten to drop services.
This all happened as TW purchased all the little Cable companies.

Time-Warner finally told the people it would not happen, and the TW customer thought they won the battle.

TW curbed their bandwidth by dropping the news-groups. most customers were not even aware they were there or free. But the ones that did were soaking up bandwidth like a sand sponge in the Sahara Desert.

If you wanted new-groups from that point on, it was to be purchased elsewhere for a fee.

Now who got the last laugh..

Time warner saved bandwidth, offered less service and made their customer base feel like they won a battle.

Politicly they covered there butts, from the Fed's to the Customer.

Slick move ...!

Comcast cable doesn't have enough bandwidth to offer 1080p HD. So the internet customers will be throttled so they can offer more HDTV.

This is why we are so behind in speeds. ISP in America instead of investing and upgrading services they charge more and limit our use.

I hope they would at least 'filter' out certain sites from this usage number, as we all know they're really trying to target the P2P users.

Youtube, Netflix, Microsoft sites, STEAM, PSN, XLIVE, et cetera should have a deal with ISPs so that THEIR customers don't get screwed..

Game patches/updates, firmware updates, Windows updates (not to mention every piece of software), and that's before even downloading a movie or something. And my household has three users that are on the internet almost constantly... it adds up quickly.

Include playing online.

I used to delete my STEAM games all the time when I ran low on HDD space and redownload them later when I felt like playing them again, must have done this with Bioshock (8 gigs) and the Half Life series fifty or more times, was planning on deleting them again soon..

....especially since as of last night I am locked into a 2-year agreement with Comcast for 16Mbps service (which by the way, is very beneficial to my new Netflix disc for my PS3)

I've been a customer for cable out here for over 5 years, every single bill paid on time in full, and up until 2 years ago, It was Insight Communications, which had great service, fair pricing, and never charged for a service call.

But then Comcast saw all the money they were making out here in North Central IL and decided to boot them out to rural Kentucky while Comcast just rolled on in and started running the show...and yes they were allowed to do it because they own 80% of Insight.

So now, channels got changed around, prices went up, and now to get faster cable I'm locked into a 2-year deal with them. And now that I have Netflix on my PS3, I'll probably be doing 250GB a week AT LEAST.

So if I get one of those friendly warnings, I'll be sure to call them and let them know to take that warning and shove it right back up their ass where it came from. I am a consistently paying customer, who will gladly continue to pay every month, so long as that cap stays nonexistent, as it should.

Hell I'm already one spare PC tower away from cutting the cable TV altogether and just running a PC through my TV.

Corporate greed is a mother f'er. This allows them to force you to higher plan. There are divisions whose whole being is to find ways to charge you more for the same thing. You think that is bad. The power boost thing is scam in it's own right. Time limit on speed then it drops off. It will go from 20Mbps-3Mbps/$55 or 15Mbps-3Mbps/$45. WTF.
Who nows how to put together a class action law suit. The only problem is the words "up to".

Maybe that explains why my connections laggs someyimes. I have to restart my modem and router. One time I couldnt play online for a day and a half. I was so pissed. I have cablevision(optimum). I wonder if they have caps. Anyone know if they do?

@1.2-
Libertarians are hypocrites. They believe in defining a corporation as an individual, a regressive gold standard, and out-of-control gun rights.
The thing that bugs me is, libertarians always speak of freedom and individualism, but then I see similar-minded libertarian idealogues creating a cult of personality around Ron Paul, and engaging in groupthink on internet forums. Sounds like collectivism to me...
