I've been lurking here for a while. I was in PHX, a student @ ASU, but
needed to return to NJ because of an ailing Mother. I did receive
several COX nasty grams, but was downloading too many things. Or, so I
thought. There is also the fact that Comcast is making a move. Netflix
might be something they are guarding against. Netflix killed me because
I was running Linux. Streaming video is killing their bandwidth. I don't
think a co-ed at ASU cares about such things.
In general ISPs are trying what to do next to get revenue. Out here on
the East Coast, Comcast has been pretty good. I suck up all their
bandwidth watching, and doing what I do, and that includes running three
different operating systems off my H-P Ultrabook.
COX is just fumbling around.

I have signed up for google fiber news if they use the same contract
that they use in
other city's there will be no caps and no closed ports and non profit
servers are ok
they are planning to use existing fiber in Phoenix Tempe and
Scottsdale and and require
the city's that want service to streamline permits ect. While I am not
a full google fan
it would be hard to argue gigabyte for 80.00 or internet and tv for
120.00 with no caps
or blocked ports and a free tablet remote. I would assume Cox and
Centurylink will need
to raise speeds and limits to compete.
