Yeah last time I got drunk I accidently ended up on IE and it was terrible.

was really hoping your agent would be IE and then a mod would ban for that. Sounds like the kind of ithing they'd do.

I'm not that clever unfortunately.
Last time I got super drunk and used a computer I tried to play ranked 2v2 Starcraft with a friend, got motion sick from the screen panning and vomited all over my Steelseries 7G Keyboard.
Did I ever tell you guys how at my internship over the summer we were required to use IE9 and all other browsers were blocked.
That and we had three different sharepoints hosted in another location almost 500 miles away connected via a 50mbps connection. Almost all applications and project files were hosted on this wonderfully snappy system.
You'd think a giant multinational company would pay for a better ISP. I'm pretty sure we just had the base comcast business plan for a site with more than 600 employees.
Someone should make an IE skin for Firefox.

Comcast is bringing a datacap to my city in November. I confirmed it. 1024GB. It's a lot until you consider I do that like every... 2-3 days.

Which isn't really a solution. The end result is my bill goes up 50 bucks for no perceived benefit on my end.
And? Whats your point ballads?
I've had unlimited internet since before it was comcast here. In november, we'll be allotted 1024gb. if we go over, we're charged $10 for each 50GB chunk up to a max bill of $200 for the internet. Or we can pay $50 to remove the cap.
Again, they're adding a limit and then charging me to remove the limit.

That's 24 GB more than I have on a 6mbit (at best) connection, what the fuck.

Bet they count upload too so it's actually less that what I have, Comcast is such a joke.

They seem to be doing a wide scale rollout now. I can tell you first hand that it just hit Colorado.

It was like 2003 when we originally signed up with Adelphia the precursor to comcast in our area. No caps and the coax system was rough then. You actually would notice speeds and reliability plummet during prime time. Now I can max out my connection 24/7 just fine. The infrastructure has been doing fine.
If I were to move out it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But the internet alone is about 80 bucks for ~85/12. Then unlimited ontop brings it to about 130 or so. I could probably go for a proper business connection at that point which has plenty of benefits ontop of that.
Just checked, Comcast Business internet for the same speeds is 150 per month. 20 bucks more gets me an SLA and a different support channel. But then we get to a slippery slope. Gigabit Pro is 300 per month. Double the price and get 25x the download and 135x the upload. I'd really have to need it though. I do know that comcast includes a 1/1 copper line along with the fibre during the install. Keep meaning to ask them if it's doable to just get that symmetrical gigabit line copper line instead of needing to go fiber. But maybe it's not that big of a price delta for them to do all the work to only give 1/1.
I don't know how much downtime you typically have, but 240 a year isn't awful for an SLA and better support.
I don't think that's slippery slope at all. There's a big difference between an extra 240 a year, and an extra 2040. Your base cost is 1560.

I got confused for a bit with that. The slippery slope is with going from 85mbps cable to 2000mbps gigabit pro. Double the cost, increase download speeds by 25x. I'd absolutely have to have a techy room mate to see the value in sharing that.
But yea that extra 20 bucks a month would be worth it for the support. Residential with the unlimited fee is not... worth it.
I'm sorry you're getting shafted by Comcast brt :(
Comcast's Twitter support is honestly the way to go. They listen to my concerns they actually forward my information and diagnostics to the tech before he comes so he's aware of the issue immediately.
I don't call anymore or go with tier 1.
Once you look for it, it's decent. They got two official subreddits. I talk directly to them on twitter DM's especially. They reply within a day, usually a few minutes.

I'm going to guess this falls under "Open Internet/Net Neutrality" (and not billing), since they're essentially charging you more to use something like Netflix vs their own On Demand (or whatever they fuck they're calling it these days) offerings which don't count against your data cap
Also for [url=https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us]any other Comcast serfs that are interested, you can file your own complaint with the FCC here[/url]

yep that's what I did.
Because I imagine with time comcast will want to exempt services from the cap.
I should make a list of annoying things I hate with mac OS and maybe make a video out of it or something.

Even the shittiest and cheapest ISPs in the UK have unlimited data.
A colleague is currently proofreading a paper on Hybrid Cloud deployment and its got us in stitches.
Straight away something seems off, as the abstract contains the phrase "A Hybrid Cloud is a blend of private and open mists" but gives no context as to what a mist is. The guy has clearly made liberal use of an automatic translator. We haven't got any work done since. Some choice extracts:
Disaster recovery is "Fiasco recuperation"
Blu-ray disk = "Blue Ray Plates"
Load balancer = "Burden Balancer"
And perhaps my favorite:
Single point of failure = "Solitary source of disappointment"
By the way, a backup server is now officially known as a "Stockpiling Gadget"

Reminds me of the 'made in china' flashlight I saw that had "photon projector" written all over the package multiple times, but yet no mention of "flashlight" at all.
