Because throttling a super popular and legit service would make for some very unhappy customers and potential lawsuits from both customers and the service provider.

And what law would the ISP be in violation of o' Chad?

Just thinking about the stunning amount of crap Comcast puts their customers through ....... I really shouldn't say any more. :timebomb:
SNAAKE:
you should call and see if there is a cap. you can ask them to remove the cap. tell them you wanna cancel the service if its like that.
I am on 60mb connection without any issues :applaud:

This explains a lot with my comcast service.
I could stream youtube videos fine over 4G on my phone, but they would stop and start via wi-fi.
Thought it was my ancient modem and router, so I spent money on a new DOCSIS 3.0 one.
Still can't watch a high def youtube video without pausing it to buffer, but I can stream amazon video in high def with dolby digital surround. :dunno

That would work if Comcast wasn't the only game in town. It took years for my area to receive any sort of cable service even though people just a stones throw down the same street had service. When cable was finally introduced (@home) it would take at least..... IIRC seven or so years before anything other than ISDN or cable was an option.
The amount of money one pays for even a "meager" 12mb connection is a damn joke.
