What's in the box?!?

Another thing to consider when you talk about bandwidth rates, ISP's have no interest in catering to the 2% of their population that utilize 95% of their bandwidth. ISP's love when these users leave them to the competition. When more of the population does need a higher upstream/downstream, they will run more fiber, but for now it's not economical to cater to these people.

As someone that's in a TWT market, my concern isn't faster, it's the retarded 250gb a month limit comcast has.

I don't give a poo poo about gigabit downstream when you're going to be stuck with a 250gb a month cap.

I hope that verizon FiOS expands to my area so that I have competition, but its not likely.

Especially since Verizon's announced they're not doing any more FIOS buildout.

The context in which it happened is: Netflix's transit partners couldn't provide reliable service.

And I'd bet they're paying Comcast less than they were paying their prior transit providers, given the huge amount of traffic we're talking about.
