I don't know that anyone would disagree with their right to do so, but if 
there are usage limits, those limits should be made known to the user 
community.  I'm sure Comcast has ways to communicate TOS updates to their 
user base - mass email, stuff a letter in peoples' cable bills, etc...

How would you react if you were pulled over for speeding on a road that 
had no posted speed limit?
