Re: at least their caps line up Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't think the caps are unreasonable. 999GB is more than enough for everything I do, and I'd probably get the 50M plan if I was in that area anyway. |

| Yea but what about the homes that have 15 laptops, 7 Xboxes, 9 PS3s, 11 Rokus, 36 pc that try and watch 342 netflix streams while downloading 143 Linux ISOs?
It won't be long before someone here tries to justify why 999GB is unreasonable.

Billings, MT | Let's see..
We have 6 laptops, 4 desktops, 3 Roku's, 2 Xbox 360's, and a home server that tunnels to our main network.
I'm sure we could eat through a TB worth of data in a month.. maybe less. |

I have two desktops, a PS3, six or more laptops, a few smartphones and a PS3. I have to really try to get above, say, 400GB...and that's with multiple people on the network. |

Oh, you mean the other door |

| "has quite a bit of heat that comes out of them"
That pretty much sums up the other door right now.

I agree. The caps seem reasonable. However, $10 for another 50GB seems stiff. |

So you have 15 devices in your household.
Most folks I know have one PC, or are jettisoning it for an iPad, neither of which they really use. They might consume 500mb a month.
Why should they pay the same rate as a household with a half-dozen people? |

So, what happens if Windows needs a service pack? Buy a bigger bucket so you don't go over? What if it's too late and you pass out from the bill?
I'm sick of this argument. "Why should I pay for THEIR internet access". You're not. We all pay for it and we like to get our money's worth instead of getting less.

1/3rd of the customer base uses next to nothing - to the point that, like cellular service before, we could do without a hardwired connection. CableCo needs to sell us a service that reflects the lower usage level.
If you use so much that you exceed the cap on your residential plan, there are business-grade plans available without caps. |

I pay Mediacom Thousands of dollars a month to get a dedicated speed, unlimited usage, and 24x7 support. You can too.
Monies worth? LMAO

Monies worth? LMAO Dedicated speed.. through a cable modem? Try again. Only way you can get dedicated speed is through a DS1 (T1), DS3 (T3), OC3, etc. They can't put an SLA like that on a cable modem since it's a ring network and being shared by other users on the same node. DSL, maybe (I wouldn't bet on it), but definitely not on a cable modem.
Sounds like someone needs to take a few NE courses.

| I have a fiber connection from them. The point is you can have anything you want if you pay for it. Paying $50 a month has no guarantee of anything, but yet most people think it does.
It doesn't. Be happy you get what you get for what you pay. I don't need to take any courses thank you. I have taken enough already.
