First let me say "I Can't Stand Comcast!" Now on with the story.The rapid growth of online videos, music and games has created a new Internet sin: using it too much.
Comcast has punished some transgressors by cutting off their Internet service, arguing that excessive downloaders hog Internet capacity and slow down the network for other customers.
Excuse me? A person pays for unlimited service they should be able to use it.
Comcast sent out letters to customers saying they were using too much bandwidth. The they dosconnected the ones who did reduce it to what the company deemed acceptable. Who's the one with the problem here? The customer or Comcast?
Comcast said only a small fraction of its customers use enough bandwidth to warrant pulling the plug on their service. This is really bas bussiness considering the fact that cable companies are facing tough competition from telephone giants like AT&T and Verizon, which are installing new cables capable of carrying more Internet traffic.
On cable networks, several hundred subscribers often share an Internet connection, so one high-traffic user could slow the rest of a neighborhood's connections. But phone lines are run directly to each home, so a single bandwidth hog will not slow other connections.
Guess what I'm choosing?

I have got tired of how many years corporations keep pulling junk against the American people and the fact Canada has more freedoms then the USA. Now sometimes I feel like I rather be in Canada then the USA because the USA has become sort of a Police State like Germany back then when it was a dictatorship.
First I will start with the RIAA. They are constantly suing thousands of Americans, people are afraid of the police cause of lawsuits, people are just afraid of the cops for something that is ethical, and yet it is illegal to download music in the USA. In canada it is Ok to download copyrighted music for personal purposes.
Yet the USA educational system is degrading and falling, so many children are now wanting to be homeschooled anymore, school shootings are getting worse, and yet I heard from a company boss named Berry said his children were more happy being schooled in Canada. then in China which is what our schools have become. So USA Schools are just as horrible as China.
Also Microsoft is constantly harassing us all, making us activate the products we pay for, and censoring the public at wikipedia.org. Microsoft should be arrested and sued for breaking so many laws and hurting our constitution.
Also the USA wants to spy on everyone to protect children from harm but now innocent people are being arrested and some innocent people that have been hacked have been accused of child porography.
Yet in Canada they are concerned about our privacy more. They are more worried about ethics then us. If there are less crimes commited since filesharing isn't illegal there would be no need for government surveillance. Juts spy to stop terrorists, not filesharers.
I wish America can go up to Canadian standards and the standards we want in a free country. I feel like we are not a free country anymore but a Police States of America (PSA) and we have become a communistic country.
I hope this country becomes free and moral again and a country we can be proud of and a country we would wanna live in.
Don't let America fall into the standards of Totaliterian rule, and into the standards of China
