a 3 year old comment.. I have to wonder.. Was this ironic? "After all, if they weren't doing something illegal, they wouldn't be accused?" is that really serious? Is the poster honestly suggesting that the government never makes a mistake in leveling accusations? Never trumps up charges? Never engages in political machinations? It is literally this kind of attitude which gives rise to police states. It's pretty nauseating. in fact, most of the comments in this forum are pretty nauseating.
if there wasn't a cap, then no one would be getting letters. that the cap is "fuzzy" doesn't make it less of a cap. cable internet is pretty much the fastest thing available for the price, and heavy users would be happy to stay within a certain cap and keep the service, but comcast refuses to say what that is. they refuse to say how much a user should cut down. why?
Try calling their "network abuse and policy observance" department. You have to leave a message and hope they call you back. Then ask them yourselves. Try to get a straight answer to any question and you'll see what the frustration is about.

They sound like a bunch of politicians reciting talking points when they talk about this issue.
"Is there a cap?"
"No."
"But I'm downloading too much?"
"Yes."
"How much is too much?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Why?"
"Because that would mean there was a cap, and there isn't."
"If there isn't a cap, then how can I be downloading too much?"
