Damn, those prices are kinda steep.. in addition to your normal cable bill? :Q
Geesh. I know someone that would have to subscribe to the 25 or maybe even the 50gb service. :Q
When I was on ATTBI it was also 1GB/month

How do I sign up for newsgroups?
1. Go to http://www.comcast.net and log in to your primary Comcast High-Speed Internet account.
2. Click on the Member Services button from the Comcast High-Speed Internet home page.
3. Click on the Manage My Account button, and click on the Access Newsgroups link (you will only be able to access the newsgroup sign-up screen from Comcast's network).
4. From the newsgroup sign-up screen, enter your full name.
5. Enter your primary Comcast High-Speed Internet user name (your primary e-mail address without "@comcast.net").
6. Review the Terms and Policies and click Yes to accept.
7. Click the Enable Account button, and then click the Finish button on the Congratulations Welcome screen.
8. After 24 hours, check your primary Comcast High-Speed Internet e-mail account for your newsgroup user name and password.

If it's 1GB/month for internet, I would have set the comcast building on fire.
Knology has no limit or cap. Downloading from newsgroups at 1 mbit is funOriginally posted by: royaldankAnyone know what Knology's deal is? From reading, they provide SuperNews accounts, but I can't find anywhere that says it's limited. I'm buying a house soon, and I'm hoping it's in a Knology location. Anyone know about SuperNews for that matter? Their stats on their site look real impressive as far as groups and retention.

If you don't like it, get a different ISP. Problem solved.

I haven't heard a damn thing about it from Comcast. The only thing that Comcast is currently imposing a total download limit is news servers, and that has been in place for quite some time.
