New It is implicit
Relentlessly market high speeds and high bandwidth applications without mentioning any limits? If they dont say '2', they sure are saying '1+1'. That is the message Comcast is carpet bombing their cable customers with, and ATT has an app for that too.

And speed is the wrong measure anyway. It is the volume that is the killer. I don't see where "everyone" claims to want it all for the same price. Tiered pricing based on volume works very well in continental Europe. Prices are a lot lower for higher bandwidth with fewer restrictions.

(I excluded the UK because the ISPs there have already created the mess the US is heading for.)

New 16Mbit/sec
Against the 250G "limit" they NEVER mention is a grand total of 4.5 hours of download time.

Oh sure... that means I get GREAT stuff I am paying for. I pay $67/month for it as it is. Business Class Comcast doesn't change the limits any.

I don't care if I have to pay $99... give better service and not filtering of DNS or other core services (SMTP disallow is fine as long as I can use the alternate ports). This 2-3 times a day having to reboot my Cable Modem to resync with the QAM timing SUCKS.
