Re: State PUCs

"There must be caps and throttling on a saturated network, unless it's designed for 100% use 100% of the time by 100% of the customers. Such a design will cause crippling subscription costs."

And how does paying more for Business affect congestion issues? If I upgrade to Business here at my home, I'm on the same network, using the same connection off of the same node. Why does paying more money suddenly make the data more manageable?

Exactly. Especially since I'm paying $59.95/month for standalone residential internet. If I upgraded to business class, I would suddenly get better speeds, no cap, for...gasp...$59.95/month. The only thing holding me back is the godawful Comcast Business SMC Gateway.

Comcast wants heavy users on starter business or off their network. They didn't consult with me about their plan.

Competition would solve most problems imo.
