MartyS (Gromit):
Not to mention $10 per gig after you hit the cap, so that $3 HD TV show from iTunes will run you an extra 10 bucks just to download it. That plan would cost me about $1300 a month at my current usage.
And the antenna is the size of a 5 gallon paint bucket? That's as insane as the pricing...

That's why I'll get what I need through my desktop then compress it and transfer it to my phone to watch when ever I feel like it :-X

Yeah are people really signing up for this? I know comcast gets a lot of flak and too be fair my friend's comcast is not the fastest internet I have ever seen but he pays one flat rate and doesn't have limit on how much he uses the internet,so that still sounds like a better deal to me.

Aren't they gunning for the people that can't get cable? I would assume this is for rural areas that can't get lines to their houses.
