In North NJ, optimum online does a similar thing. When you upload for too long (theres no specific time or amount as per information from optimum) you get capped at 17k/s upload and around 450 k/s download. (Advertised at 12mbps/2mbps)
There is no warning of this capping and its a real bitch to get it reversed.
I got suspended from them because this happend to me 3 times, so i cancelled the service and got FIOS.
Im not surprised that Comcast is doing something similar like cutting off service.
