And, considering they are rolling out 160 GB per MINUTE service in time for Christmas, just plain stupid, cause you'd cap out just turning on the modem.

Thank the FSM the UW has Internet 2 and not that dog slow pony you civilians suffer with in the rest of the US while Japan and South Korea - and Canada - laugh at how slow our Internet speed is and how we pay 10 to 20 times as much per GB.

250GB doesn't equal 250,000Mb, it equals 4,000,000 Mb. Which is 2,000,000 secs at 2Mbps, which is 555.5 hours, which is 23 days. Basically, they are capping for people who are using all the bandwidth constantly.

(Will, you're just kidding about everything you just said, right?)

I think it's likely comcast is only going to pick on you if:
1) you're in the top few users in terms of bandwidth
2) you're in a really congested neighborhood

Just hope you're not #2 (and you're not torrenting enough to be #1).

And they sure aren't considering that most of Comcast's costs are per-bit, not per-user, which means everyone else is paying for folks who run P2P clients 24x7 at full capacity.

Many of these folks are all for "net neutrality" without having any idea what it, let alone why it's a bad thing for 97% of users. But the term sure sounds good.

Oh yeah I work for them, but still...

I'm seriously embarrassed for the Stranger's recent editorial hiring decisions. WTF, people.

Also, I'm preparing my stated reasoning for cancelling Comcast, and it's going to be this and the whole FCC thing.

There is only so much bandwidth, an ever growing number of users, and this is aimed at the serial downloaders of bloated data such as movies.
