WHAT?! 250GB a month!

Here in Australia, my usage limit is 12GB a month. After that it's slowed to 64Kbps from 8Mbps. When we first signed up it was the 'Unlimited' plan becase you got slowed instead of being charged for exceeding your usage allowance. What a joke.

How can you complain about being limited!

people are angry not because it will cost them as most people don't come close to downloading 124 sd movies per month but it is instead the principle they should not charge like bandwith were oil because bandwith is unlimited it doesent cost any money to create it and dont say theres not enough pipe room that is total bull one strand of fiber can handle ever telephone call on the busiest day mothers day and we have thousands underground pipe room wont be a concern until the human race is replaced thats how long it will last comcast only charges because they are greedy that is why people are mad

There's folks here in the U.S. who would be happy to get 64Kbps.
