Of the big cable providers. Comcast made its move. Thing is, the others will follow. Unlimited internet is going to be a thing of the past. Funny thing is comcast is putting limits on its own stuff. Like fancast a video website thats handled by comcast falls under the 250 gb limit. However they're phone service doesn't fall under that.
250 gb might seem high. but.. with growing demand for more videos online and shit. that 250 gig limit might be too little.
People who play games online like x360 and ps3 actually eat up quite a bit of bandwidth. Might effect them eventually too.

At these times when customers are being affected by weaker market. Companies should try their best to keep prices low and maintain the same level of service, not degrade service and cut it down and charge the same.

Honestly, I dont see how anyone can download that much legit content. Theres just no way. the HUGE downloads on the net right now are all from Movie Rips, MP3s, Games and Apps.

I use my computer and internet connection every day, I doubt I ever go over 20gigs in downloads.

truth be told, this would only really affect people with families and teenagers.

And freaken download pirate barrons and shit. Even when pushing it, the most i've downloaded was like 100 gigs in 1 month, and then afterwards i've slowed down extensively

FFXI is like 1.5gb a month even if you leave it on for extended periods of time.

This sucks for the people with families and teenagers who are pirate barons. Hope our ISP doesn't do this.
