I bet there is a maximum cap per month on this as well. It’s still Comcast

So basically we can buy more bandwidth that we can’t really use or we will get in trouble? If I pay $140 a month for internet you better believe there will be something being downloaded or uploaded 24hrs a day. If there is a cap it will take away most of their target customers.

Yeah what’s the catch? ISPs are saying they need bandwidth caps and throttling to keep people from using too much bandwidth and now this…. do you get a 10 GB/month cap or something? Where is all this “wideband” bandwidth coming from when a few months ago the Internet was going to collapse unless ISPs throttled filtered and capped usage?

It sound like they are finally investing in new infrastructure Trencher. That or the bandwidth gained by throttling clients is going into a faster connection that is completely useless for the average consumer.

People willing to spend over $100 a month on internet are going to want to use it 24/7. They’ll be blasting through the 250GB limit in no time!

yeah I’m still ticked about the cap they put on it but I’m really ticked about how much it costs. Comcast apparently doesn’t realize how few people actually even use the 8Mbps it’s at already. I think most people would rather see cheaper and truly unlimited rather than some obscenely fast download potential that most servers would never upload at anywhere near that speed anyway. What a bunch of morons. This is coming from someone who has used comcast internet for 7 years and sold it door to door for one year. I know what people want. They are morons.

I live in the twin cities and I do not know anyone that has the $140/month connection. I see the commercials all over TV though advertising it. I am happy though my speeds will be upgraded to 12MBps at no additional cost because right now I am at their 6MBps. So it sounds like 6MBps users will go up to 12MBps and then their 8MBps customers will go up to 18MBps. Pretty sweet.
