Everytime I start thinking "Hmmm, I could use the faster upload speed" Comcast goes and releases/publishes something like this. Oh well.

This is crap.

hit 350GB sometimes, are you telling me, like idiot phone users, I'm going to have to pay more for something they can create infinitely and doesn't put any additional load on them?
