Comcast gets slapped, then locks down bandwidth usage

After the FCC ruled against Comcast and it’s illegal bandwidth throttling, they moved forward with publishing that all “excessive users” will be subjected to a possible warning and/or disconnection of service. Now granted the usage threshold you get to hit is 250GB per month, but those of us in the IT world know we can hit that with ease.  For the average Joe at home using the Internet for his bills, surfing and day trading this will be just fine as they will never hit that mark.  I still hate Comcast and their service and their lack of customer service.  Let’s just say I am one of MANY dissatisfied ex-customers of Comcast.  Just like my favorite Comcast haters Travis “Sugar Bear” Sarbin and Mona Shaw.

Let me give some advice to those over at Comcast that make the high level decisions.  A very large community of IT professionals and hard core gamers used/use your service because it was good and it worked great.  But then you basically slapped all of us in the face and said, “sorry, we no longer want your business”.  Ever since a group of us in Denver, CO switched over to QWest DSL we have been made happy again.  We can do business/work/pleasure all at the same speeds without any interference from QWest.  Do not crap on the best customers you can have.  We will hardly ever call you for service unless it is down or being throttled so you spend less money working with us.  You screwed up and are now are paying for it with large amounts of us leaving your service.  Goodbye and good riddance.
