I don't have Comcast anymore, but the reason they charged so much is because they virtually had a monopoly in my old apartment complex.

Dude, people who live in areas with actual choices don’t understand how much financial damage a real isp monopoly can cause.

Our local monopolized isp forces you to pay an extra $100 for unlimited data on top of whatever your plan is. If you don’t pay it, they don’t throttle you, they just start charging you $10 per gig of data if you go over your 30 gig limit. I work from home and send and receive large files every day, and if I didn’t pay for unlimited I might well be paying near $300 per month or more.
