This is completely ridiculous, but the dude making the call certainly could have made the call shorter if he wanted to.
Personally, I've never had anything but positive experiences with Comcast. 50Mbit/s 24/7 with bursts to 100Mbit/s is hard to beat. My traffic has never been throttled, and even when they had the 250GB "limit" for a while, I was regularly breaking that by a bit and never heard from them. Now there's no limit on it, and I regularly hit 400-500GB/month.
It does really bother me though that if I have no other real options other than Comcast in the area. There are other providers, but they charge around the same price for 1/5th the speeds.
