If that's the case, then BFD.  <br><br>Look, I understand that segments can get saturated.  What about someone who uses his Internet connection constantly yet *still* does not cause congestion because there are not enough other consistent users to cause a problem?  Or someone who sets his system to do a bunch of network activity between midnight and 7 AM?  Technically, that "heavy user" isn't causing anyone any problems, yet they're still going to get bitch-slapped with bandwidth caps.  Hey, nice!  Get screwed for having a serious impact on -- NO ONE!  Comcast makes me love my FiOS more and more.<br><br>And that Comcast graphic is freaking awesome!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 14th 2008 8:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast to revamp congestion management policy by year's end]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</guid><description><![CDATA[So I was wondering how Comcast was going to beat Vudu, and DirecTV's 1080p offerings!  Simple, make it tough for users to make use of the new high quality Vudu offerings (big files, shared via bit-torrent technology, pushing you to your limit even if you watch very few).  And make it tough for DirecTV to download 1080p movies for "on demand" viewing from your DVR hard drive.  All those "background downloads" are really going to hose you!<br><br>I guess it's not technically anti-competitive, but it really does undermine everyone else's business model for electronic distribution.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nathan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 2:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast to revamp congestion management policy by year's end]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</guid><description><![CDATA[I pay nearly $90 a month for Comcast High Speed Internet only -- NO TV or PHONE!  This is a slap in the face and as the resident "IT guy" in the neighborhood, I will be converting as many people away from Comcast Internet as I can.  Seriously, where is AT&T Lightspeed (FiOS)???  Let's get going AT&T!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2008 4:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast to revamp congestion management policy by year's end]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/14/comcast-to-revamp-congestion-management-policy-by-years-end/</guid><description><![CDATA[all I can tell you that I don't like what you have done to my service. Your system is slower then ever. <br>It takes so long for a page to load that I thinking about going back to my old provider. I am not the <br>only one in my area that feels this way. Whats going on?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2008 5:39PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
