Each cable company sets their own speed limits based upon what level of service you are willing to pay.

Comcast has Economy which is 756,000 bps for $24.95/month.

Another level is 5,000,000 bps or 5MBps for about $39-45/month.

And there is even a 12MBps or 15MBps speed for $49-$69/month.

Which level you get depends on what type of things you are doing with the Internet. If you are downloading an occassional video clip, like facebook - the 786,000bps does just fine.

If you want to download movies - then you will need the higher speeds.

MANY CABLE PROVIDERS are beginning to set limits to how much you can download/upload on the Internet. Comcast has monitoring software and if you use the Internet too much - download/upload too many files/movies, etc - then Comcast reserves the right to kick you off their network because your activities may prevent your neighbors from using the Internet or causes them to have slowers Internet service. Comcast is not the only ISP doing this.

The problem is that many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) sold their high speed network to customers as "unlimited amount of usage" and "unlimited amount of file transfers". Things worked okay at first cause the ISP had build a network so large it could handle all the traffic. But as people started sharing video files and downloading music - the ISPs have discovered their network does not have enough capacity to handle all the files being shared. Instead of spending a lot more money to expand their network capacity, the ISP is monitoring which customers are BIG USERS and targeting them for possible removal.
