No wait, I know what's going on.... They have a new intern that hacked ooZEROoo's computer and installed some stuff to hook up to their webcam and microphone and then cut the service. The intern then waited and watched as ZERO contacted them then the intern put the internet back on. They will probably post the video on YouTube or some other big video site. And, not much is up actually, except for the fall semester. Oy, for the most part they are easy classes just boring/annoying.

My bill has no fine print next to the word unlimited.

I know the cutoff for a newsgroup account through Comcast is 1 gig a month. You can go over that in one session, but you are blocked the next time you tap into a newsgroup. Any overages get deducted from the following month's allowance.

Damn, 20 gigs a day....you take the term pirate to a whole new level!! Yeah it is lame that they advertise unlimited bandwidth and then restrict/refuse service to high bandwidth users. Poor design from the beginning, all they had to do was clearly state the maximum bandwidth available for use on a monthly basis (since obviously there is a limit) and there wouldn't be any pissed off people or law suits waiting to happen. Looks like Comcast dug their own grave on this one.

Actually 20 gigs per day is fairly middle of the road as far as hardcore piracy goes. I usually hit that much just from getting Blu-Ray and HD-DVD rips. Black Hawk Down was a whopping 50 gigs. The Planet Earth HD-DVD rip was 80 gigs. Burned all on dual layer.

Psh, hardcore would be running on a T3 connection with enough downloads in queue to use up every byte of every second.

That is such bullsh!t it isn't even funny. There is 0 way you downloaded an 80 gig movie (which is total crap from the beginning, stop lying!!!!!!) and somehow burned it to a dual layer disk. Even if you did, it would look like total poo!!! Good job, not only are you an uber pirate, but an uber liar! Momma would be so proud now wouldn't she?

---

My blank DVDs are 4.7 and 8.5 GB. He must have about a 7 DL disk copy of BlackHawk Down. Ha Ha Ha. What a mess.

Comcast should stick to Cable TV. Running false advertisments claiming that their customers get unlimited use of the internet is outright fraudulent. An industry friend of mine was gonna get a cable modem a couple of years ago. He realized that Comcast was run by a bunch of of azzholes, by the time they had wired his neighborhood. So f--k them.

An advanced DSL connection is good enough for most home users and about 10-12 bucks cheaper per month. They don't send out those threatening WARNING letters either. The only thing that I have ever seen are the monthly bills and the annual notice about renewing our service contract...

Newsgroups... awesome - no waiting on seeders and can max out connection quite nicely...

I guess I have yet another reason not to go with Comcast.

20 GB/s a day?
400-600 GB/s a month?
If I was comcast I would cut you off too.
Open your front door, that thing outside is called the world.

They aren't lying, they are omitting certain truths. And those truths are that that 80GB is of one movie, but it is every language, screen ratio, commentaries, etc.

Hi
No way a movie (even hd blue ray) is 80 gig drop the zero and that is probably right
I have concrap too ..no problems (knock on wood)
i get dl speeds of 800 burst up to 1500 at times .really cool
i grew up with the 56k's ..... i dont even use a dl manager anymore
just Q them up all at once then listen to a gogal bordello cd

Frank

common practice here in aus is the fact that u can see your internet usage. it should be part of their contract that they need to provide the usage summary.

That 80GB is plausible though. That 80GB is possible if it contains every region, screen ratio, language, all commentaries, extra features, etc. Sure that is not realistic, but it is possible.

Actually as Planet Earth is something like a 2-4 disc HD-DVD that 80gb is easily possible, just because you dont believe something doesnt make it untrue.

The problem is ComCrap and some other ISP oversell their bandwidth. Bandwidth usage is just increased every year. They are using not false advertising but "twisting word" by using "unlimited access".

We as consumer have no other choice because there isn't any other ISP in the area. This issue was voice back in 2005, however it goes nowhere.

Akamai announced that they will roll out the High Definition content to the net soon. Intel also working on 10GB/s protocol. The bandwidth usage is only increased, but not decrease.

Once again, instead of up-grade and adapt to the demand of the consumer and business growth, ComCRAP decide to cut down moderate to heavy user to fit their profit projection.

Keep in mind that we all pay to use the service, we didn't get it for free or at a discount price. Most of cable user paid a higher price compare to DSL. Therefor, we need to get what we paid for.

As soon as FIOS get to Northern Cal, by then, may be thing will change, and some of these greedy corporation will learn to respect their customer.

Until when they will learn: 1 lost/unhappy customer = potential losing 20 businesses.

Well its the same kind of logic all the idiotic fanboys have, and Im getting a bit annoyed with it.

---

A dual layer bluray disk holds 50 gigs.....it doesn't seem illogical as to why I thought that. Didn't think about multi disk movies...wow sorry. Dont compare me to all the illiterate children running around the console forums whining about video games please.

Do you not understand? The fanboys know EVERYTHING. The sun rises and set just for them. Therefore, whatever they think, believe, w/e is FACT!

Verizon just put in the fiber optic service on our street, my neighbor switched to them a month ago, he's not to happy with the switch, I'm in no way a techie, but with this fiber optics you would think he would have had a little bit of improvemnt when actually his computer runs a little slower than before.

Anybody else make a switch from comcast to verizon, is the performance better, worse or the same, I to was thinking about switching but not till I hear more.

Does not make sense to me
Comcast can control your speed via the modem?
Why would they get rid of customers?

Made me lol..

In my area only comcast was available but recently they were bought out by time warner cable in my area at least. I download maybe 1 gig every 3 days or so? Just depends. Never got any warnings. However the modem box does flash a lot like that other guy said which makes the internet go down a lot.

I just moved up here in the Northwest from the Southwest a few months back and I've heard/seen nothing but grievances from customers. I wish they had Cox up here...
