Camden, TN | illogical thinking OK I get that people want NO caps whatsoever but Comcast CAN do that. That being the case having Comcast exempt their own stuff is actually better than having to count their own stuff. If they have to count their own stuff people will hit their caps faster and are more likely to incur overages. Which means people are MORE likely to drop things like Netflix which I'm sure is the exact opposite of what Netflix wants. If they think by forcing Comcast to count it's own stuff that they'll just drop the caps or raise then well that's just naïve thinking. Some people want to cut their nose to spite their face. |

| I vote with my wallet so I would drop comcast, I know what is said next about other choices not available. But as soon as comcast pulls this more often, other companies will emerge. |

Really which ones? Well, comcast will have to start charging people, and kicking them off. Im so glad I am in time warner area, even tho they try this shit too. They usually get blasted, and when they do something like this, peace. The free market will create the opportunity. |

People if they are lucky have 2 choices. Cable or DSL. People that have FiOS as an option can switch. That's a small % of the population. |

Sure. I know that I am paying for internet not comcast content. They need to remember that they are a dumb pipe, as soon as time warner (great isp, IMO) forgets that. I will move to another independant one, like say sonic. |

Yes and No. Monopolistic/oligopolistic behavior, (being the provider and favoring its own content), can benefit the consumer short term, but when it disadvantages competitors since it maintains or extends the monopoly/oligopoly and therefore hurts the consumer long term.
