Actually they really aren't "unlimited" see: http://comcastissue.blogspot.com That blog was started because they cut off service to a customer who was using "excessive bandwidth." Bill Gephardt even did a piece about it. > Also, just because they don't specifically spell out every aspect of > their service in the ToS doesn't mean they are wrong.

It doesn't mean they can't No, their ToS could be considered a legal document by a court of law. IANAL. This would be like getting a ticket for something that is not in the Utah State Code or City Ordinances. The Utah State Code and City Ordinances are what govern traffic rules. The Utah Driver's manual is similar to the brief summary that you get from Comcast that says you agree to abide by the ToS. > Just because they don't specify something, doesn't make it right or > wrong.

I am not one that "they are loosing(sic) money on" and I would love to switch to something else. Unfortunately, for me, they are the only "High Speed" internet alternative. I can't get DSL where I live and wireless is only slightly faster than dial-up.
