Internet Speed / TV Package, what u got?

[Klendathu]

Comcast, the Deluxe Everything package for TV. The wife demanded it. I would just as soon get digital OTA channels with the perfectly good 30 foot aerial antenna on the house, but I gotta make Mama happy.

Net connection is ~70mbps down and ~12 up. I think we pay somewhere around $125 a month. I had to do some serious haggling to get that rate, though. Your results may vary.

Also, if you have Charter or Comcast, do yourself a favor. Build a halfway decent Windows 7 computer, put a large drive in it, hook it up to your TV and get one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815345006

What's the point of having fast internet with a ridiculous throughput cap like that?

That's the thing. Internet companies are giving you this amazing bandwidth with a cap simply so you get used to using more bandwidth and hit your cap faster. Then, they will charge you per MB over the monthly allowance. This is what Comcast does in my area. Its complete bullshit and should be illegal.

I come close to my cap every month from all of the streaming people do in my house.
