Further Proof That Unlimited Doesn’t Always Mean Unlimited
It turns out that life may not be so Comcastic on the information superhighway after all. We’ve all heard the horror stories. Cell companies terminating subscribers accounts due to excessive minute usage during "unlimited calling" periods. Most contracts actually contain a clause designed to protect companies against use that exceeds what they deem to be a "reasonable level." All of this seems to run counter the notion of truly unlimited service, and now we can add one more company to the false/misleading advertisement list. The Consumerist is reporting that cable internet provider Comcast is unilaterally canceling certain subscriber’s accounts due to, you guessed it — exceeding the bounds of unlimited service. The particular case they refer to cites a man who has used over 600GB of bandwidth over the course of two months. Admittedly excessive, but nonetheless, unlimited is unlimited except of course when it comes to bandwidth and network usage on Comcast.
