Comcast's Internet Cap Debate

I think the problem with their plan to cap is that they are warning clients once and then kicking them off their network entirely for a year and not providing a metering application.

They are already tracking the data clients use. Why not report on it through their website and when a client hits the cap give the customer choices:

1. go over and deduct the overage from next month (so next months cap is smaller)
2. pay for the overage
3. shut of your internet for the rest of the month

That sounds like a much more friendlier approach for legitimate high bandwidth users.
