New Restrictions For Subscribers Will Begin October 1st

Philadelphia, PA- In a move that continued their earlier announcement the ComCast cable Internet provider has stated that they will begin their new data limiting-throttling actions beginning on October 1st.

Subscribers will be limited to 250 gigabytes a month beginning October 1st, and the ComCast company states that they believe it will prevent their subscribers from suffering from sluggish and slow Internet responses.

First time violators of the new ComCast policy will receive a courtesy call from ComCast, and if they violate the policy a second time they will suffer their Internet account suspended for a year.

This is in direct opposition to their earlier announcement in May of this year, where a fee of $15 dollars per every 10 gigabytes above the monthly limit was discussed.

ComCast, along with Bell Canada, and other large North American providers are currently waging war against those subscribers that they believe are using more than their fair share of Internet broadband services.

The 250-gigabyte cap is one that will eliminate over 99 percent of their subscribers, but will still target a fairly sizable number of their subscription users.

ComCast is attempting to appear as the wronged party, but there are a number of smaller Internet providers in the United States, and Canada that are directly in opposition of the new ComCast policy.

Other Internet providers across North America have been weighing the issue, and many are looking at limiting the usage of their services by their subscription users.
