    I would personally shut them off and go to another ISP, BUT, they have monopolized my area and I have no other option. FiOS is slowly making its way to my area but they have yet to put in a bid. The state gov likes to monopolize certain areas as I suppose they get a kickback of the procedes. Something needs to be done yet no one has the power to do so... As shown by the FCC fiasco.

    It's sad to say but I doubt anything is gonna happen to the cap and it shows just how much one company can control an area and fuck you straight up the ass. It's all about gettig the most profit off of the netwrok they refuse to upgrade untill it finally begins breaking down. I mean they tested DOCSIS 3 fine and even rolled it out in a few areas (50mb/5mb @ 150$ [ridiculous]).... they could make things so much cheaper with less congestion and more reliability at the same speeds they offer now uncapped. They say 20% of their market will be upgraded to DOCSIS 3 by 2008 and the rest by 2010. I bet we wont see any droped prices! More likely increased cost and or finished Protocol Agnostic Monitoring WITH the Caps and extra throttleing.

    What the hell is the point of me buying an unlimited HS connection if i'm just gonna be slowed down by the monitoring and capped? They add caps and slowdowns then they should come up with some more pricing plans. When the hell are US ISP's gonna get more like some of the good ones in European Countrys / Japan. Greedy F'ing Monopolizing Pigs....

    What are they trying to do? Stop competition with their video service?

    Next up in the line of marketing.... Comcast Has contracted Netflix to not count as bandwidth Usage, or Pay only 5$ more for Unlimited Netflix Steaming. Of course these companys get a kickback for helping subscriber to subscribe to Comcast ISP... Pretty bad eh?
