Just got an announcement from Comcast cable internet that starting the 1st of the year (2005) they are merging with giganews for newsgroups.

2 days later I received a "reminder" that I had reached 78% of my allotted monthly downloads.

This suks the big kahuna, I never had a cap, so now I have to be selective with what I get.

I know some of you will say wawa but it still suks.

You should also be weary of the invisable cap's comcast and other cable internet companies like to put onto their connection.
