    Are you serious? I would argue about it - I mean you DO pay for the connection and it's bandwidth, its your right to use as much or as little of it as you want.

    yea...it's 100% true....yes I am paying for it, and it's my bandwidth....lol....they have a hidden bandwidth limit....google it for more info....they monitor how much bandwidth you use per month....and when you download a torrent, you can slow down your whole neighborhood if you have other comcast customers....

    Wow. I don't think I will ever subscribe to Comcast if that is the case. I use my Bellsouth connection WAY over that in a month and they don't do anything about it.

    Its mostly the software they're worried about. I got a letter from them a week later after i dL'ed a fake virus program. The file will seem legit, but once you install it, its junk.
