The issue is the latest software sharing craze - bit torrent - and it's sucking up a lot of internet bandwidth. And enough Comcast home users are doing it that they had to find a way to slow things down.

To use that much would require @ 50 million 5 kb emails, 62k+ songs downloaded or 125 2GB movies a month. Dang - I think I am safe, even with Banned and Mbz. I think we might have some serious spamming going on in Jax.
