Comcast is trying a new way to price their internet service. They are testing with the idea that you are only charged for what bandwidth you use. Which is not a bad idea at the core. That would bring broadband closer to being a utility rather then a luxury. Just like water and electricity the more you use, the more you pay.
But I don't think Comcast is going to do this correctly. I can very easily see these guys charging people more for using less then what they are now. If you pay say $40 a month now and Comcast gives you a data cap of 150GB then you should only have to pay $40 in a month if you use 150GB but I don't think this is how this is going to work. I can easily see them making you you pay more then $40 for the 150GB.
This is a good idea but Comcast should not be the one leading it. They will screw up this idea far beyond anybody thinking it is a good idea. So far my opinion on Comcast doing anything with the internet is:
I hear Comcast = I hold up a cross to fight them off!
That is my opinion on them. Thankfully I live in an area where they do not operate. My DSL provider keeps me quiet happy.
