Re: Comcast has new Acceptable Use Policy besides the 250GB cap

said by Rick See Profile :

Sounds fair to me. 250 gigs is very generous given the numbers we've seen from talk of other providers.

I would also point out that the new terms say that violators could be asked to "move to a commerical service".
Many have wondered on this forum whether Comcasts caps on their business connections are as restrictive in terms of caps. That would seem to answer that and would seem to suggest that people who wanted more than the 250 gig caps could simply move to a business connection if available to them.

Lastly, I do think it's important that Comcast make available to customers a bandwidth meter of some sort that will be the official measurement tool. While most will not come close to the 250 gig caps..those who do will have a legitimate complaint if that isn't provided I think.
You can't ask for people to now have a fixed cap and number they must go by..and no way to gauge where they stand in relation to it.

Other than that..it all sounds fair to me.
This isn't "generous". It is better than what the other providers offer. So, compared to garbage, it is better.

Also, "could" be asked to move to a commercial service is very misleading:

1. I did ask to move to a business class service and was refused.

2. Business and commercial are two very different services, especially in price. So when saying to move to commercial, most people would think business, while commercial is very expensive and they probably could not afford.
