Long time reader, first time poster.
I don't understand something. What good is a Cable ISP with lightning fast DL streams if they put a bandwitdth cap on the amount you can dl/ul!!??!? With some outfits it is softcap, where they don't tell you how much or provide anyway to monitor it. You just wait for the cablecops to write you a nastygram.
I am sorry I was spoiled rotten with my @home before I got moved to COX after @homes demise. I remember the days of COX (others are still using this methoed) promoting an UNLIMITED service.
I know, read the TOS, which reads like every TOS and that is "we can/will change our terms at anytime". That is the funny part, I have a brand new BW cap and still NO ONE has notified me of the change. I had to bump into it in some obscure forum on the net and go back and read my TOS to see the changes. In all fairness to COX they have not started to enforce this limit as far as I know. I am sure the horror stories will start at some point.
Sorry for the rant but everything (not just in this thread) is about how fast, well that is all well and good but if you cannot use it what is the point of a 3-5 mps connection.
