Hi I'm a current Time Warner Cable customer and going to be swapped soon to become Comcast. I currently have the turbo tier for internet and I know I'm going be dealing with data caps. Data caps need to end because it's a unlimited resource and Comcast is trying to making you think it's a limited resource. Is there any way we can stop this bullshit.

Sure, I was sold 100+Mbps package. If me maxing mine out 24/7 impacts you I guess the provider should either A) Upgrade or B) don't sell more service you can't deliver.

I would say C) Charge more but the USA is already one of the highest priced lowest speed places, so that's already happening.

Do your lights turn off if your neighbor turns on every light and plugs something into every socket he has?

Now grant it these are not 1:1 comparisons. Almost everything is oversold these days, internet, power, water etc. it's done based on assumption that not everyone will be maxing out. BUT if I buy unlimited data at a datacenter for a server and it's only 50 bucks, well they are counting on me to either not use it much, or to be using the excess others aren't using. Home internet is the same way. You invest/upgrade your infrastructure to support the demand.

Doubling speeds isn't any sort of upgrade, docsis3 is not new and most Comcast areas have been 8DS channel for a long time, and US, well they aren't increasing those much. New blast, 105x10Mb, lmao joke!

Now grant it, I don't agree with the "unlimited" resource the way some people are looking at it but if you're selling a service you better be able to deliver it if I want it, if not invest/upgrade your stuff.

Giving free speed doubles etc. isn't investing in anything, because along with those yearly speed increases I am seeing 1-3x a year some sort of price increase along with new mandatory caps/limits etc. So while my bill keeps going up, you give me a way to hit those limits faster, how is that advancement?

I agree it cost money, man power etc. to do and maintain this stuff, but that's what our monthly fees are for, which again, are among the highest in the world for the low speeds you get.

It costs very little for a large provider like Comcast to have 100Ge links, especially considering they are all over and avoid very hard peering so even more so it's all on-net.

The whole problem is prices. For the prices we pay for internet it should be unlimited.
They should cap lower priced plans for people who don't want to use as much.

$76.95 for standard Blast internet should be unlimited.
Maybe offer it for 49.99 with 100GB cap or something.
Then everyone who cries why should they pay for your data can go on lower plan.

Instead, Comcast uses business class as a way to get more money out of you, price increase without doing anything, go to business class for unlimited. hahah.

It's sad.

I completely agree with you there Anno! Comcast has more money than they'll ever know what to do with and they could easily be COMPLETELY UNLIMITED without hurting their pocketbooks at all. They did it for all those years before caps were first put in place and they could do it again.
