It’s the complete lack of bandwidth monitoring tools that makes
Comcast’s cap to bogus. Good grief, even the cell phone industry
lets me keep track of my minutes as THEY have them measured - sure
there’s some lag, but it’s there. I may very well just drop to DSL
and wait for Fios. Comcast is treating it’s customers like the
enemy, and it’s a sad day when you can say that an evolving phone
company seems to be treating it’s customers better than ANYONE.
