Mr. Jason:
Thank u for the reply=2C very informative URL. Understood on the cap=2C but=
how long it will remain not enforced is a good guess!
What I am trying to is have Comcast mark our IP ranges with QoS=2C so downl=
oads or congestion inside the household will not degrade performance.

service is called and who at Comcast can help me with the commercials?
Sincerely=2C
Nabil
