But are they doing this while retaining bandwidth caps? If that's the case, then BFD.

Look, I understand that segments can get saturated. What about someone who uses his Internet connection constantly yet *still* does not cause congestion because there are not enough other consistent users to cause a problem? Or someone who sets his system to do a bunch of network activity between midnight and 7 AM? Technically, that "heavy user" isn't causing anyone any problems, yet they're still going to get bitch-slapped with bandwidth caps. Hey, nice! Get screwed for having a serious impact on -- NO ONE! Comcast makes me love my FiOS more and more.

And that Comcast graphic is freaking awesome!!
