Re: [Caps] Caps totally confuse Me!! said by AVonGauss:said by fuziwuzi:When I showed one friend, who is disabled, how easy it was to watch Netflix and Hulu using his new WDTV box, he was overjoyed. However, a couple of weeks later he was not so overjoyed when Comcast suspended his cable for "overuse". After a few phone calls they restored his service, but now he is afraid to use it. Now, instead of enjoying his love of old movies as he sits there in his chair day-in-day-out, he limits himself to watching one movie a week because he fears having his only lifeline to the outside world disconnected.
So, why not also show your friend Comcast business class which has a much higher limit and at the lower tier is not much difference in price? I realize this is not a common situation, but I do think its worth point out you could watch 2 average length NetFlix "HD" movies per day and still have quite a bit of breathing room before crossing the threshold. Not much difference in price?????? Wow, talk about your elite but completely clueless statements! Last I checked, the cheapest "business class" from Comcast was about $150 per month. That is significantly more than the $45 per month my friend pays for internet service, out of his $850 per month disability income. Have you lived on $850 per month? Could you live on $850 per month and pay for a business class broadband account? And no, he's not a "leach on society", he is a victim of a form of ALS (think Steven Hawking, but not as severe, yet).

If you spent a little less time blindly ranting and a bit more time listening or even doing a bit of homework yourself, you would know the 12/2 business tier is around $59.95 (plus, $5 modem rental) per month. The price might vary a bit by market.

do a side by side price comparison with your residential packages...
in the memphis market....
Residential Plans
==================
1.5/384 - Economy - 41.95
6/1 - Perf. Starter - 49.95
12/2 - Performance - 59.95
15/2 - Performance 6 month promo [new subs only] - 29.99 / 44.99 thereafter - I don't get this, but it's irrelevant to me...
16/2 - Blast - 69.95
105/10 - Extreme - 199.95
Business Plans
===================
12/2 - Starter - 59.95
22/5 - Premium - 99.95
50/10 - Deluxe - 189.95
100/10 - Deluxe 100 - 369.95
would you choose 12/2 from residential or 12/2 from business?
I chose 12/2 biz so I can sleep better and kids can stream all online video content to their heart's desire.... | |

I'm going to be blunt - nobody cares. If your "friend" who happens to be disabled (completely irrelevant to this thread by the way) can't afford $60 a month business class to avoid the cap, then he/she needs to stay under the cap if he/she is worried.
Don't judge people based on what they can/can't live on per month.
Also, if your "friend" has a fixed $850 a month income, then they shouldn't be sharing their income (internet) with anyone else, so then there's no problem staying under 250 GB by your logic... | |
| And last I checked business class internet isn't $150 a month...
