New Regulations On Maximum Subscriber Usage Begin October 1st

New York City- In one of the more controversial moves that the Internet provider has done, the management and lead executives have confirmed the move by ComCast to regulate and throttle Internet use by their subscribers beginning October 1st.

The Internet has been a wide-open marketplace for the most part since its earliest days.

In the last year, slowly huge Internet Providers in North American have been starting to regulate and “throttle,” large bandwidth users, often without their permission.

This has been done in many cases in the background, quietly, with the only notice being that persons and subscribers that use peer-to-peer type downloading, or who wish to watch live video or Internet Television feeds have found that they were lagging, or that their Internet service has operated very slowly.

Bell Canada fired one of the first salvos, as it announced a throttling policy that affected tens of smaller Internet Service providers, and all of their customers.  The Smaller ISP’s in Canada have lodged a complaint with the Canadian Authorities, and a decision is in process.

In America, ComCast has now decided that it wants to enter the Internet bandwidth-throttling fray.

Beginning October 1st, all Internet subscribers of ComCast will be limited to a monthly 250-gigabyte limit.  First offenses will be noted by a warning and a fine.

Additional offenses will be punished swiftly, and with draconian finality- users will be barred from subscribing for 1 year and not able to access ComCast for that time period.
