Unlimited bandwidth isn't here yet
Comcast shutting down heavy usersBy Nick Farrell: Sunday 11 February 2007, 23:10
US telco Comcast is shutting down users who seem to think that its 'unlimited bandwidth' actually means what it says on the tin.
Writing in his bog, u235sentinel has complained that his service has been switched off for going over a few hundred Gigabytes for two months in a row.
Comcast apparently does have a monthly download limitation which it is not telling punters, even though it advertises its service as 'unlimited'. u235sentinel says that while many would be happy to see the back of a bloke who they dub a bandwidth hog, no one is really sure what they think a user should be downloading.When he called up Comcast to ask why he had been disconnected he was told that what he had bought was not unlimited bandwidth but something called "unlimited access". He said that if there was a limit in bandwidth it would be nice if Comcast could tell him what it was so he didnÂ’t go over it.
Comcast on the other hand is telling him that he must shell out $1700 for a commercial account. 
u235sentinel said that the only reason he stuck with Comcast was because it had 90 per cent coverage of the Salt Lake Valley and the only competition, Qwest, keeps pushing DSL availability back.
Well sheesh kebab.
