Use 250+ GB twice in a 6-month period and you’ll be in the penalty box for a year. Comcast says all this won’t matter to 99.9999% of their customers. Some people in the are up in arms about the decision anyway. Memo to Comcast: Don’t take any technical advice from the Recording Industry Association of America about how to identify bandwidth pirates. |
