Comcast customer discovers huge mistake in company’s data cap meter

I'm concerned that there is a cap at all or more specifically there aren't any viable competitors (with a decent network connection without caps).

Comcast has pretty significant overlap with AT&T UVerse and Verizon Fios. Not in all markets, but in enough.

The real problem is that comcast is correct, most people don't use nearly that much data. So even if all the people who are effected leaves, you are only talking about losing 5% of their revenue. It's probably a net-positive in congested areas.
