I agree with the above except don't expect any less restrictions with satellite. Hughes Net and other providers use a throttling device they call Fair Access Policy. You go over the limits within a time period, your downloads drop to dial up speed. Stay with DSL or non-Comcast cable.

Using Comcast's logic, get rid of all hammers because someone might use it illegally or inappropriately. :-)

What's interesting is that this comes on the heels of reports about Comcast having a bandwidth usage cap and shutting down customers if they go over it.

It also comes on the heels of the little old lady who attached a Comcast office with a hammer.

Looks like overall, Comcast is making a concerted effort to alienate customers and drive them into the arms of satellite, DSL, and FiOS.
