| it's a start.. to the end of all caps Comcast competes in part of the same geographies as FIOS, so not only are they $100 more, but the cap would've made it even more of a non-starter.. or at least put the icing on the cake of a racketeering / price collusion case against Comcast and Verizon. |
|
| But if the Network was so congested..... .....wouldn't we need to keep these 300 Mbps people from downloading so much?
Either the network is congested or it's not. If it's not, then there's not really any justification for the caps other than making money. |
|
| But those customers on the 305Mbps tier download SO FAST that they're only using the line 1% of the time! |
|
| But the number of GB is what matters to what travels over the network, not the speed. Sure, they're getting it faster.
But 250GB is 250GB, to use the old number. While it may move faster on a 305Mbps connection, it doesn't degrade the network any more.
Because of all the channels implemented to have this, the Comcast network is pretty strong now. It's stronger than any other cable ISP. There's little reason to cap now other than you can make money off it.
I really don't think they're going to enforce bandwidth overages at all in the Northeast. It's just too easy for anyone they start overcharging to leave for FiOS. This is what the AT&T and CenturyLink areas are going to suffer through. |
|
| Shout out to Comcast.... For doing something that makes a whole lot of sense... lol.
Seriously, if you're charging a customer $300.00/month for the service you're getting a huge ton of revenue just from THAT!
I'm still on 50 service and I LOVE IT so Comcast is all good in my book. |

Re: But if the Network was so congested..... naturally network congestion is simply monetary congestion. It is why business customers also have no cap. they pay more.

Re: But if the Network was so congested..... Easy: 305M is delivered over fiber, not coax. You aren't competing with other users for last-mile bandwidth, and since Comcast actually has a pretty strong backbone (and cheap too...people pay them for peering nowadays) they don't have to worry about contention on this kind of tier, where their deployment costs are dealt with thanks to the high initial ($500) and monthly ($300) prices. |

Re: Oh how sweet of you Comcast.... Considering thats the price of a t-1 that has 1.5Mbps thats not a bad price. |

Re: But if the Network was so congested..... So why not start migrating other customers over to the fiber and off the coax? |

kudos:3 | VIOLATION! FCC better step in. Sorry, but it's not right that they can provide uncapped service in order to compete with Verizon while their other customers have a cap.

| I don't see how it's an FCC violation.
Like I said before, I don't see them enforcing this cap at all with overages in the Northeast, because people will leave for FiOS if affected.
The ones who will be paying the overage fees are going to be in the AT&T/CenturyLink markets. And the FCC is not going to tell Comcast they can't charge different prices in different markets, which is essentially what they're doing. |

300 megabits a /sec you then route to 6 people 50 megabit unlimited for 75$ and make a 150 $ and shut up....
90 TB download not enough for you? |

Is it actually MAE, or is it delivered via DOCSIS on the HFC plant? Haven't seen a definitive answer one way or the other on this. If it's the former then it's an incredible deal. I would not personally be willing to pay for it, but you'd still be hard pressed to top it for value. |
