Comment on The new Comcast Xbox Xfinity app is the first nail in net neutrality’s coffinparent

Purchasing your movie/video viewing from Comcast is the "blessed" option.

And a "soft cap" is a hard cap, if you regularly want/need more than the cap.

P.S. I agree that I may have "waffled" a bit with respect to the option to switch to business class service. However, I understand that business class service is not available in all areas, can itself be a significant price bump (i.e. not an incrementally reasonable amount for incrementally more bandwidth), and requires different equipment and an on-site installation visit -- also at significant cost. (I don't have it, though, so correct me if I'm wrong.)

P.P.S. On the other hand, I have considered their business class product to be an option if and when I need it. At least some sort of higher capacity option. Let's hope they don't take it away, e.g. from residential locations.
