disappointing ...I was almost on the verge of breaking down and ordering comcast cable for internet and for tv to get a combo deal and avoid lots of dongles and boxes all over the house for digital but now with the limit put on I have a sense they are using the limit as a mitigation of their not rolling out enough bandwidth to accommodate all the digital stuff and all the imbeciles downloading all the porn they can get resulting in sludge for we the poor fools who just wanna use the net and watch TV like humans!!
