		<description>I just called Comcast last night and asked about their service and the usage cap and I was told that the backup service does not count against their usage cap.  I will double check this with another call today.  

I also wonder, then, if they are being anti-competitive.  They essentially limit large backup (~200GB) to use their service or risk going over the usage cap.  What if I sign up with Moxy directly; will that apply to the usage cap?   How about a competitive service such as Carbonite or the new favorite Dropbox?

I see legal issues galore over the way this service is offered.  For instance, I am not interested in file sharing much; for that I use either Google Documents or for larger things, my 2GB DropBox account (which maybe I will expand as I fill it).  If my drive crashes, and I use a non-Comcast backup service, it is not even possible to do a restore unless I do it over several months [and that may not be possible with some providers which maintain a backup for 30 days] or go over the 250GB limit and get my threat email from Comcast.  These are all issues I intend to get answered from Comcast before long, if I can ever get a knowledgeable person online.</description>
