Considering that this new "Greatland Cable" will start out 7.8 billion in debt, roughly five times its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amoritization and be around 33% owned by Charter Cable, who's debt is also around is also around 5 to 5.1 times Ebitda, it wouldn't suprise me if they lowered the caps and raised their rates...lol. In talking to some friends who work for Comcast now, they don't forsee any radical changes, at least early on. Just got my notice email, that as of today, 1/18 I have used 90 percent of my 300GB. With two Xbox Ones downloading HUGE games and streaming video now, I am going to have to upset a few people in the household when I set up the router with data caps. If our usage over the next few months continues to top 300GB, I may be forced to go back to the 15Mbps DSL we had before. Considerably slower, but no caps. I can only imagine how long a 30+Gb Xbox One game will take to download over that connection...lol. Will be interesting to note though, as Michigan like you said, does not have the caps in place right now, and Kentucky where I am, will also be a Greatland area, DOES have the caps in place. I wonder if they will leave it like it is, turn them all off or turn them all on? My money is on turning them ON everywhere, but I hope I am wrong.
