If you are victim of overage fee then switch to DSL , even I haven't notice about telephone companies will cap on usage of internet.

back to dial-up?? Hell NO! I love my speed... High speed is my daily "drug"..

If worse come to this overusage crap, I rather switch to business account which is about $80/mo with one static IP with Cox Business - no caps crap.

Thread's moved to the proper location since it is related to ISP.

Unforunately, not everyone would have that choice.. Some apartment building or condos have exclusive rights to cable company.. No DSL crap.. I live in very nice apartment place which exclusive with Cox cable for TV and phone.. But forunately, I can get DSL/phone from else where, but would be very expensive to install.

Some small town only one provider..

Oh really, I don't know that.

DSL is offers in most of place, also DSL is exclusive in most rural area and small town.

For expensive to install, not always, you can order it and install yourself, only need have telephone line and telephone socket.

I am sure they have a way to measure the bandwidth usage on each account... Probably too expensive for them to install the support to be able to measure.. for now... Greed is what many cable modem and dsl providers thrive on .. Which translates to greedy stockholders ... I don't think anyone will go back to dial up.. Many are hooked to the need for speed...I know when I use my videophone for a length of time, the transmission rates starts dropping along with the computer rate.. It is Comcrap narrowing down my bandwidth to keep the more expensive business accounts humming.. Comcrap is already being investigated for false advertising about " blazing speeds.."

Use my middle finger at Comcast for two reason. CAP and $60 every month (without cable TV).
I think 7 years ago, we switched to Verizon DSL. Now, we have Verizon FIOS.

With my XP it's about half slower download than the above speed.

Ok, I had test on both of them on mine, they are similar to me.

I usually check speed via download program on Safari too.

It's old news, I heard that few months ago. Comcast did restrict anyone downloading from P2P. FCC fined Comcast for doing so. My suggestion are that If ANY ISP including Comcast decide to cap it with overage fees on deafie, COMPLAIN TO FCC. They'll take care of problem. They'll fine ISP for it or work out with ISP to allow all deafie to have "special" use. I doubt that cable co would ever succeed with overage fees. This will hurt customers and they'll switch over to different ISP that don't. OR switch back to Dial Ups lol!! Or ISP have to come up with new idea to expand networks to improve network speed in the future. Maybe Fiber Optics for everyone! Music and video files download in few min so no one would need to sit and wait for downloading big files for half day or more. Then there will be NO overage fee period.. LOL

Ah ok, I tested on Safari too. I guess it'd be big difference for some, no difference for some.

Not Anymore, Verizon already refund to consumer who terminated.

Only for consumers who sign up after March 2, 2008. Speed will be limited up to 200k if using over 5GB.

dakewldude

Y'all are barking the wrong tree! If Comcast limits your ability to use VP due to usage limit and over-usage fee then it is "discrimination". I would suggest that you all contact FCC and file a comment. FCC will force Comcast and any other cable provider not to penalize VP users. Talk is easy as we deaf are famous for complaining to each other but no action. Go to Disability Rights Office Homepage

Here's a true scenario:

High-speed Internet only: $67
High-speed Internet & Digital Phone: $49.95
High-speed Internet, Digital Phone, & Cable: $99.95

I prefer Cable high-speed . . . even it is $1 cheaper than DSL . . . or maybe I should reconsider.

(I can't wait until AT&T starts offering cable then watch Comcast start thinking differently.)

It' not cable for att but att offers U-verse, that means you watch tv via fiber optic.

Verizon DSL $30 - almost same speed as Comcast's internet.
Comcast $60 for internet only plus add rental modem $3 + tax - without Cable TV.
We got flyer from Comcast. They offer $99 for internet, cable TV and Phone.
Compare to our Verizon Fios $89 - internet, TV and phone (add $$ for HD box and HD DVR).
FIOS gave me 7 to 10 times faster than Comcast's internet.
