The will lower the cap as time goes on. I assume they will loudly advertise the respriction and I hope Verizon loudly advertises it does not YET. djf ________________________________ From: Sunil Garg [mailto:sunil () sunilgarg com] Sent: Thu 8/28/2008 6:41 PM To: David Farber Subject: Comcast confirms 250GB cap effective October 1 The IP crowd might be interested in this. VentureBeat reports: You just knew it was too good to last. Starting on October 1 of this year, Internet service provider Comcast will begin placing a cap on the amount of data its customers can access a month, DSLreports has learned <http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Comcast-250GB-Monthly-Cap-Goes-Live-October-1-97294> . The 250 gigabyte cap, now confirmed by Comcast <http://www.comcast.net/terms/network/amendment/> , represents on 14,000 of the company's 14.1 million users, it claims. While that may be true today, and while 250 gigabytes may seem like a very high cap, going forward, this is going to be problematic. http://venturebeat.com/2008/08/28/comcast-to-dam-and-damn-the-internet-with-usage-caps/ Regards, Sunil ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
