Comment Re:But what about bandwidth caps? (Score 1) 379

No typo, just perspective...

I agree with this:

The fact that they have a cap at all is idiotic, when they could instead implement a monitoring/adjustment algorithm which changes QoS for heavy users until they let up, that way the heavy network users don't negatively impact other users, but at the same time everyone is happy because they are getting the service they paid for, with zero downtime.

However, since they most likely will be using bandwidth caps, Comcast is better for it for offering a more realistic cap.

This is something I suspected all along that TWC knows they are losing their hold on the cable subscribers to streamed/downloaded shows. This is why they will most likely offer such a low bandwidth cap (40GB per month $54.99-ish) for the current pricing plan. They know how soon going over the limit would start to make their overage fees.

Comcast has it right for offering a 250GB cap. Very realistic and for the customer.
