Well, this certainly bites for those of use who use the internet to listen to audio or watch videos.. glad I don't use Comcast! Comcast has warned broadband Internet customers across the country to curb their downloading or wind up on the curb. The company has a bandwidth limitation that, if broken, can result in a 12-month suspension of service. The problem, according to customer complaints, is that the telecom giant refuses to reveal how much downloading is too much. The company, which a few years ago advertised the service as “unlimited†has an “acceptable use policy†which enforces the invisible download limit. http://consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/08/comcast_ban.html?imw=Y
I am glad I am not with comcast because I am a very heavy internet user.... I would hate if an ISP turned off my service because of how much I download..
Especially with a vague "acceptable use" loophole.. they should state clearly the boundaries. I think, as someone else said elsewhere, that it boils down to the fact it cuts into their cable tv subscriptions.. more people are using the internet instead of cable tv to watch movies, vides, etc.
