Comcast claims that excessive usage by certain customers affects the service for others, but so far they've never showed any real proof of this and there are those that claim the cable companies have other motives. Yes, we all know that cable companies have a history of trying to control the Internet here in the US, but has anyone really thought why beyond just simply the profit they can make from bw usage and what that could mean for our industry? Comcast has a 250 GB cap, Time Warner and Frontier are now considering 40 GB caps. Of course there are other challenges the cable company would have to overcome to gain the total control they are looking for, but what if they were able to gain that control?
