someone wanna fill me in with the bullshit of this company?

Comcast owns 90% of the Cable in my area. Not sure how far they reach but it is big. I wish there was an alternative around here but there isn't.

I am paying over $50 a month for just cable internet. My Office that is about 4 miles away is getting DSL for $20 a month....

Go DSL if you can...its normally available everywhere.

Yeah, cable is a rip off...and now they are capping it. Bastards.

Im currently on Time Warner who bought adelphia aswell. Yes, they are the same thing. Cable in general is expensive...just isnt worth the extra 500KB/s (in my case). BUT!!! I will say that I would rather have TW than ATT, those guys are douchbags. Only like their phone service and only because have tons of friends that have them and its free to call them. ATT tracks your dling and will report you to police if they catching you dling illegal things...and then one day 2 officers will show up at your door with a warrent and you will be screwed unless you hear them pull up and have your HD(s) on you and you exit the window before they see you...they cant search you if you arent in the house

. They also throttle your internet if their machines detect you torrenting...even if its legal torrenting (which I would sue them over) cause most linux distros are torrented and they are completely legal...but no they block all torrenting....and do you know why they do this??? Because they dont have the line capacity to support everyone dling all at once even tho you pay for unlimited internet access. Fking bastards need to burn in hell.

Cable TV in general is gay because of the quality...would go with sat TV if you could...its amazing quality. You can actually see the difference.
