Comcast tests take a number and wait network management
2008-06-03 18:21:00 When a market lacks adequate competitive forces, providers will invest in rationing before they invest in more product. Here’s more proof that there is not adequate competition in American broadband access: Comcast has cooked up yet another network management AKA rationing scheme. This concept is as old as the service cue at any government office. It’s called take a number and wait. Comcast’s subscribers are going to love it! Comcast CTO Tony Werner stated at the time that “the outcome will be a traffic management technique that is more appropriate for today’s emerging Internet trends.” According to an internal memo obtained by Broadband Reports, this more “appropriate” system will be tested in the Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and Warrenton, Virginia markets from June until July. The memo indicates that the company will be testing several management techniques (I’d assume from different vendors) in the two markets over the next mon...

"And this one has not been objective."The Pennsylvania Republican was unforgiving of his criticism of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, saying that Goodell has made "ridiculous" assertions that wouldn't fly "in kindergarten."

Comcast said to be mulling monthly download limits
2008-05-08 13:28:00 Sympatico Tech News is reporting that Comcast, the U.S's largest ISP is thinking about capping usage for their users.The consumer broadband website DSLReports.com, citing an unnamed source at Comcast, said Tuesday the company was considering a cap of 250 gigabytes per month cap.The source said users would get one free "slip-up" in a 12-month period, after which they would pay a $15 charge for every 10 GB over the cap they used.The proposed plan would mark a departure for U.S. internet service providers, which have traditionally offered "unlimited" download plans to subscribers.But the proposed cap is still significantly more than most Canadian internet customers can currently access.Most Canadian ISPs, including the two biggest - Rogers Communications Inc. and Bell Canada Inc. - already have data caps for users much lower than the one Comcast is reportedly mulling.The most popular plans for both Bell and Rogers cap monthly data at 60 GB. Bell's high-end offering has a cap of 100 G...

Five Mystics games to air on Comcast SportsNet
2008-05-07 21:25:00 Five games of the Washington Mystics' new women's pro basketball season will air on Comcast SportsNet. CSN will televise matchups against the Indiana Fever, Detroit Shock, Seattle Storm, New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun, all but the Liberty game to also air in HD. The local Mystics telecasts will all air in July 2008 as part of what Comcast SportsNet calls "Mystics Month." Whether the Mystics are only worthy of a month is debatable but considering that the team didn't get any locally produced television at all last season, it still stands as an improvement. Additionally, four games will air on national television via the ESPN family of channels.UPDATE: On the other hand, the Mystics have reupdated their radio schedule to remove references to WWRC/1260. It now seems that Mystics games will not air on local radio at all this season. ----Relevant link: Washington Mystics

Comcast Considering 250GB Monthly Data Caps, Disconnecting Repeat Pirates [
2008-05-07 07:18:00 Other than Time Warner's single-city foray into monthly data caps, consumption-based billing has mostly been little ISPs with little monopolies, and given the market, we thought it'd stay that way. Broadband Reports is, uh, reporting that now Comcast is mulling monthly caps (which Comcast's PR guy confirms, though not the details)—something like 250GB, and then $1.50 for every GB over that. According to their source, the idea has "a lot of momentum" and it'll start rolling out in the next two months. The other part is that they're going to start ramping up DMCA notices to pirate assholes, with a total disconnect if you've gotten four letters in a 12-month period. If this is entering the mix with Comcast's new "protocol agnostic" network management technique (in something closer to English, very temporarily slowing down your whole connection if you're hitting the pipe really hard at the same time as a lot of other people in your area), you're looking at an uncomfortabl...

SPRINT, CLEARWIRE SET TO ANNOUNCE $12B WIMAX DEAL WITH COMCAST, TIME WARNER
2008-05-07 02:14:00 Filed under: Wireless We've definitely heard this one before, but the buzz around a proposed $12B WiMAX partnership between Sprint, Clearwire, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, and Google is deafening right now, all based on a report in the Wall Street Journal. The plan is for Sprint to merge its XOHM wireless broadband division with Clearwire, and then take a total of $3.2B in investments from a host of other players: $1.05B from Comcast, $1B from Intel, $550M from Time Warner Cable, $500M from Google, and $100M from Bright House. The resulting company will be worth some $12B, and the WSJ says investors have given their final approval for the deal -- a rumor we've already heard with no meaningful result, so take it with a grain of salt. Or a whole salt lick, actually. We're not certain why Big Cable is so eager to dump money on Sprint after two previous ventures both folded recently, but if this goes down, it's a pretty big boost for WiMAX, which was looking pretty sickly late...

What Took So Long — Comcast?
2008-04-22 00:34:00 Note to readers! If you are a Comcast customer and are having a problem, blog on Twitter. It might get you resolution to the problem. Your Mileage May Vary of course but what can it hurt? – The company has to “materially and significantly” improve, he said, noting it could take several years. “We’re playing catch-up.” On Twitter, where users write blurbs on what they’re doing or thinking at the moment, a passing complaint can be an early warning signal to Comcast. The site, said Biz Stone, a Twitter cofounder, is the sort of forum that Comcast should monitor. “If Comcast can get to those influencers, the complaints will not grow to a full blog post,” he said. Eliason has posted about 600 messages, or “tweets,” on Twitter. Comcast is “waking up to the fact that a bad rap in the social-networking space could spread like crazy,” said Shel Holtz, a public-relations consultant in the San Francisco area. &ldquo...
