Their employees mess up my account/bill every time I interact with them on anything. In the Atlanta area they are now charging extra for data use above 300GB/month which has a significant impact on anyone using Internet-based TV services like Roku. They claim their new policy won't affect most customers but it's really a strategic business move to generate extra revenue from those of us using the internet for video streaming services (and cutting the cord to Comcast TV services). So get ready to pay more if you're using internet-based TV services/streaming devices of any form in combination with Comcast internet service. Here's our only real hope - at some point there will be legitimate options and I can't wait for the day the Comcast monopoly crumbles...

Yeah I agree with ya totally.Except here where I live when they had the data caps you got one warning if you went over then a 12 month suspension if you went over again in a 6 month period.
As of right now Enforcement of the 250GB data consumption threshold is currently suspended.
I cant beleive the cap in my area is 250GB even if its suspended right now. I am a heavey Netflix user. I am at 155GB and only halfway through the month. I dont suscribe to the TV services because I dont beleive in package requirements.
I think I would want maybe 10 to 20 channels max from all that they offer. and of course they are all spread out among all their packages.
I would love to pay like 30 bucks a month for just 20 channels THAT I CHOOSE. Load an app or website and get access to JUST THOSE channels and not see any other channel in the list.
