What gives Comcast the right?

Guest: I could not have said it any better. I dont know what is happening to service in this country, but it seems to be becoming a thing of the past.

How can Comcast or any other broadband service for that matter tell their vital paying customers they are using the internet too much? No matter what the reasoning be?

I would like to emphasis the word SERVICE here. How about paying attention to providing the service you promise instead of punishing the customer.

My grandparents are rolling over in their graves.

Comcast and the Internet

If an ISP has a defined, and protected, area of operation they should have to adjust to user's needs, not the other way around.

ISPs like Comcast want their cake and eat it too. If something doesn't work for them the customers have to pay, not them. It's about time that companies begin to be responsible for their actions, not the public.

Cable Internet sells a set bandwidth, if they can sell this bw to more people than what they should be, it's their responsibility to provide the upgrades to the service in order that everyone is satisfied. Some people have DSL and Cable and they just use it to send and receive email from their families and friends. So, is the cable company going to refund or lower the rates of these people? That should be the case if they're using a low bw rate daily. Yet, these companies do not do this. So, who's benefitting?

These mammoth's have to march in time with what's happening. They plod along using old technology and when something new comes along, they're not prepared for the changes. Why should we have to pay for their iincompetence?
