I have Comcast, am I intercourse ed?
You've been getting intercourse ed for a while.

I guess FIOS is starting to look better and better.

Too bad FIOS is insanely expensive to upgrade.
I heard it costs like $1500 to upgrade FIOS, and $100 to upgrade cable internet.

I use charter. They did, however, file for a bankruptcy or something close to that a little while ago.

Well, I don't play online games. So if AT&T decides to pull this, I'm probably fine.
But even though it's stupid, it's like a lot of utilities. The more electricity you use the higher you pay, and the same for water, heat, etc.
Maybe the internet will be a utility in the future. :-\

MK: Wii counts as an online game.
Anything you play over the Wii, X-box, or PS3 will more than likely count into this bandwidth as well.

I'm thinking Comcast will not pull this kind of d*ck move... but I'm not sure.
Between my parents and siblings using the internet, and our X-box usage.... we would be screwed.

What the f*** Warner, we're in a recession for Christ's sake.

Oh, and wouldn't you be able to get 15 GB for the same amount of money as the 10 GB?
Buy the 5 GB package and go over 10 GB?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Comcast decides to pull this poop.

They already do, but it's fairer. They only charge you extra if you exceed 250GB a month (which won't happen unless you're torrenting PC games at the rate of one a week :p).
