Two errors, DOCSIS 1.1 is common, and they don't charge $55 per month
Two errors.

DOCSIS 1.1 is common in the Cable broadband world. Comcast has promised to have 20% of their network transitioned to DOCSIS 3.0. They will funnel their money in to upgrading their network so long as we don't have these frivolous 2 trillion dollar fines being demanded to the FCC against Comcast.

Comcast does not charge $55 per month.

More pressure needed rather than excuses....  diputs28 | 02/15/08
Even Verizon FiOS has rules on usage  georgeou | 02/16/08
FCC uses threats of punishment already, ex. wireless auction  AySz88 | 02/16/08

You say traffic management. I say data forgery.  Letophoro | 02/15/08
No data is forged, only the headers  georgeou | 02/15/08
RST packets aren't forgeries even though Comcast injects them?  Letophoro | 02/19/08
I said the headers are forged, the data is not  georgeou | 02/19/08
You should sue the USPS for forgery then.  Letophoro | 02/19/08

It's highly illegal when those packets leave Comcast's network.  Letophoro | 02/20/08
