Re: at least their caps line up 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.
