I hate the fact Comcast won't let me comment on this issue other than what they give us a script for.

No, Comcast, it is NOT "necessary". What is necessary is you upgrading your damn network to fit capacity. Or GTFO.
Isn't this the real issue? They have oversold their bandwidth and this is how they compensate.

I havent read the TOS lately (you can see it at comcast.com), but I think they just sell you access... It used to be called unlimited access, basically meaning it was a connection that was up 24 hours a day, unlike dialup which is limited to x many hours per day (my old dialup isp automatically bills you for their buisness package for that month if you use more than 15 or 20 hours of dialup-internet per day). Comcast could deliver dial-up speeds or worse, and still be fine since they still are offering you the access. Their TOS should still have the breakdown of refunds, incase the network has a problem and you no longer have access.I love how they can get away with this. if a company over sells something and they dont give you what you bought you can get into big trouble...so why is comcast any different.
I hope they are not selling any more new subscriptions cuz apparently the network they have right now cant handle the load they have so therefore it would mean that they cant get any new costumers to add to the load. I bet you 10 bucks they are still taking new users and trying to sell them the high end bandwith... who can they even do this>
They don't seem to notice news traffic... I download from Usenet almost 24 hours a day at 900+ KB/sec and have not been throttled.
Comcast is one large player though.
they own a huge portion of the pie, and act as they wish. they will have to answer some question on Capital Hill, and that makes me feel sooo much better. i mean we got nothing really serious goin on here right? Congress needs to set time aside for TV appearances regarding steroids and now Comcast.
Comcast does seem to be more than just a bit like Clear Channel. which is to say, they are very good at dictating their wants and desires and finding enough rhetoric and "facts" presented by experts (employed or commissioned by...) to continue their antics.
Comcast employs countless senators children high up and lines many pockets. They answer to no-one.
If you don't like it change ISP's.
FFS I should have a medal.
Yeah, I dont see what everyones problem is here... I switched when I didnt like comcast, it was great... people-pc was totally there for me, everyone else has it as an option too. Seriously, whats the big deal? I mean, if you dont like it... then switch, AM I RITE?? (sarcasm)If you don't like it change ISP's.

A medal... shit, you're right...
You should read the beginning of the thread to see that you deserve the Honorary Medal of Retardation, because Comcast is a monopoly(this means there is no other company so consumers only have 1 choice for broadband) in some places.
lol...
