Despite their talk about how this is good for consumers and they will reduce costs and poo poo, don't be fooled and think that this would do anything to lower prices for the consumer. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/02/comcast-no-promise-that-prices-will-go-down-or-even-increase-less-rapidly/ quote:"The impact on customer bills is always hard to quantify. We're certainly not promising that customer bills are going to go down or even increase less rapidly," Comcast Executive VP David Cohen said in a conference call today in response to a question on price. "Frankly, most of the factors that go into customer bills are factors beyond our control."

Bob Morales posted:Wasn't Charter rumored to buy Comcast a few weeks ago? Charter was trying to buy Time-Warner. Word is that Charter was offering to sell some of Time-Warner to Comcast after that deal was done, but then Comcast was like nah, we'll just take it all. Time-Warner rejected the Charter deal and Comcast offered the same price and got it. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-comcast-charter-20140213,0,3512470.story#axzz2tJ9lWD2W

The joys of your TV provider having control over your internet. They want you to watch more of their TV and/or use their video streaming, which often doesn't count against the cap whereas Netflix et al do. Cable internet is a great invention but at this point it needs to be separated somehow.

So some of the ISPs like Google Fiber which are actually going up since September 13 don't have the Super HD or don't suffer the same problems with "Overloaded connections at peak usage times"? Also howcome the overloaded connections at peak usage times only started then?
