[citation][nom]montezuma[/nom]What is the point of faster connections when ISPs put caps on how much data you can download in a month? I have received two threatening letters from Comcast about my internet usage since I started my subscription to Netflix(I use it a lot) and since I have started working on my majors courses.On top of Netflix, I play quite a bit on Xbox Live, I download a lot of movies(legally through Xbox Live Marketplace), I also download(purchased) music through Amazon, iTunes, and other places. I easily use up more than 250 GB in a month, but apparently Comcast dislikes this. Of course, I simply wrote and called back with my own threats and they have left me alone for the time being.Telling people how much they are allowed to use a product they pay for is asinine and should be squelched by the U.S Government. I am vehemently against "big government", but they do have the right to regulate and the FCC needs to do their job and stop these artificial caps.Hell, if the government is going to tell me I cannot smoke flavored cigarettes, then they sure as hell can fucking tell telecommunication corporations not to shit-can customers that move a lot of data.[/citation]
TW and other cable provider is not regulated by the FCC. They are not consider utilities company. So, they can do or say whatever they want.
