so I guess my other Q is how many games will this affect? Just the Betty Crocker schools? Or some if the lesser SEC games for a particular weekend? thanks

I've moved a good amount and have had mutliple different cable companies and they're simply all terrible. Just the absolute scum of American commerce. A prime example of why regional monopolies and oligopolies are bad.

The OP had a thread about a week ago complaining how terrible Amazon is. Then the OT quickly showed him how wrong he was.

That is NOW, right? I mean, how on earth can Comcast and Time Warner NOT carry the SEC network, esp in the south? Comcast carries that Big 10 network in Memphis... I guess because we have such a huge Big 10 fanbase here... they HAVE to carry the SEC network, don't they?

There's no choice. What's the point of faster data if you cripple users with a cap?

Let me reiterate. You cannot buy more data.

Netflix gives you no choice.. Can you imagine how much data those 'super HD' shows they have use?

Oh and comcast gives you no alerts feature to even see how much your using each month without remembering to log into their website. It's like how cell phone companies played games with talk minutes 10 years ago.

300gb is going to look like nothing in a year. Moore's law.

Gotta admire your determination to keep looking like an arse with regard to that thread.

try running online back up on a computer that has 3.5 TB of files with a 250 GB/month cap. Thanks for the hundreds of dollars of overages when I was just trying to use best practices, Suddenlink.

I hate Comcast with passion....but U-verse just couldn't provide decent internet service to my address. I couldn't stand the constant buffering, and I would barely get standard resolution on Netflix....if I were lucky.
