If they do, then two things will happen: 1. The majority of ordinary-usage folks will be subsidizing the small number of high-usage folks, leading to higher prices for the majority over the medium-long term. 2. Connection speeds will stop going up.

Or Comcast can ensure their infrastructure can handle the load they advertise to their customers and keep upgrading and improving it using the subsidies provided by the US government to do just that.

Comcast is ripping off customers twice. Don't defend it.

Don't forget Comcast charging large companies to "deliver bits" to "their customers", so that's another time that Comcast rips off customers if anyone is counting. Read up on "Comcast zero rating" too for more reasons we shouldn't let critical infrastructure providers also own media companies in this country.
