"I never said Comcast was not a cable company ..."

True you said Wireless Internet and Sat Internet was the same as Cable internet then claimed the thread wasn't about a Cable Company. You are typical of posters who have no clue about Socratic Discourse you try and conflate terms and use straw men and non-sequitur to try and wiggle out of false hoods you post. As I've stated over and over and you have yet to refute Cable Companies have no Cable Company Competition in most areas because the have paid for such through lobbying money. The entire country except for a few truly remote areas could be wired up to cable but they are content to control their little territories and keep the competition out.

They know they will never truly have competition with wireless and Sat internet until Wireless can get way more coverage and bandwidth and Sat can get more Sats into space and more importantly fix ones that are broken, Right now they main way you fix a broken Billion dollar sat that gets severely damaged is to send another one up.

Limiting Bandwidth is just a way to rake the customer base right now with Cable they are trying to protect their outdated Cable TV Business model. Locally I am told by several how work for our cable company that everyone around here could download all day long and the system wouldn't even notice. If so then why are they talking about limiting everyone? Its for the big bucks and that is all!

“True you said Wireless Internet and Sat Internet was the same as Cable internet”

No I never did. In fact I said that they were not.

“then claimed the thread wasn’t about a Cable Company.”

The thread is about internet pricing structure changes.

Apparently someone forgot to pay off our developers ...

We have coax, phone line and fiber-optics to our house.
