That is not entitlement at all. If anything it was ignorance of the fact that your upload data is also measured against the cap.

This. I would never have guessed upstream was counted. I thought this was only about downstream bandwidth.

I have a hard time accepting this fact. Yes, you might not know upload count, but reading Comcast's AUP, it states:

    >> Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this Policy include, but are not limited to, 
    numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using 
        (i) file transfer protocol (“FTP”), 
        (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and 
        (iii) newsgroups.
This seems to be exactly what the person who wrote the article was complaining about.

And in a world where we no longer have unlimited data plans on our phones; I am suprised people forget about the data used while uploading...
