legal actionWhy hasn't any of these subscribers who has gotten these letters try to sue Comcast for false advertising when Comcast advertise their service as "unlimited" or better yet once Comcast do cut off their service all together.
Paul M Johnson, 30 Jan 2004 @ 9:51am
Re: legal actionI suspect that the "unlimited" refers to connection time not download limits.
Michael Vilain, 30 Jan 2004 @ 11:26am
Re: unlimited it isn'tThe TV commercials don't specify and there's nothing in the UA to specify. There's also no service agreement that spells out downtimes for the network or caps on network data transfers _or_ bandwidth. I sure as hell don't get unlimited connect time. There are network outages all the time. A lot less than SBC DSL, but it's not 'unlimited'. Maybe I should get a life..
Such ambiguity is _begging_ for class action litegation against a company with deep pockets. Why hasn't some enterprising law firm advertised for people to sign on to such a suit?

Re: unlimited it isn'tThe TV commercials don't specify and there's nothing in the UA to specify.
I got one from @Home once, early on in its history. It said I had gone beyond their 2GB per month download limit (I download distros all the time, and routinely go above 2GB, though not nearly as much as I used to now that I CVSup most of the distros,) which was news to me, so I called them up on the phone and explained to them that they sold me the pipe, and unless I was preventing others from using their service (since my downloads were normally during the 2:00-4:00am hours.)
The person I spoke with, who was a manager, stated that they never meant to send out those letters (which he said was a number of them,) and that apparently an employee who sent them out was doing so without the permission of the company. I have never seen one since from @Home or from Cox. However, if I was to see another one, I'd be on the phone again in a heart-beat, and if that didn't fix the problem, would take my business elsewhere. I don't need some prick telling me what I should or shouldn't do with their always on, "broadband" connectivity. I am already pissed of with the caps as it is, you are right that there is nothing in their ad or on their UA or contract to say what these caps and limits are.
Sammy Moz, 2 Feb 2004 @ 9:44am
Re: unlimited it isn'tThe limit must be pretty high. I do well above what any average user would in data transfer, and have not gotten one from comcast. Still I would be curious to see what the cap is.
Sun Kim, 30 Oct 2005 @ 12:25am
Re: unlimited it isn'tComcast is probably afraid that if you set a maximum cap, that will encourage non-abusers to actually use more bandwidth since s/he feels they can utilize more than they currently are. Its probably better for Comcast not to disclose a figure to not encourage additional abuse.
Jamaal, 8 Jan 2006 @ 2:58am
Re: unlimited it isn'tThen hell, lets all just rack it up. I myself download about 10-20 Gigs a month and i have not once received such a letter.
tim, 17 Jan 2006 @ 11:46pm
Re: unlimited it isn'tCrap....in the last 4 days, i've downloaded 60GB. Haha. I guess that's what happens when you download HDTV content. I haven't received a letter yet ^^. I use newsgroups by the way, which is why i use so much bandwidth.
Anonymous Coward, 29 May 2006 @ 1:55am
Re: Re: unlimited it isn'tHey you all I can top you all. Comcast's user agreement department called me and warned if I did not stop my 400 gigs a month I would be cancelled for 12 months.

Re: Re: Re: unlimited it isn'tThey tapped me at 456 GB calling that " excessive"..
Problem is, is that I cannot use that much with the connection I have and believe they deliberately inflated the numbers...especially when I asked them to send me a copy of the report he was supposedly reading from... and since he refused to do so, that sort of tells me that just maybe they are making up numbers at random...
They offered me a Business account and for only 15 hundred a month... lol...
I believe it's a total scam and they are trying to get customers to sign up for even more services by threating to cut off their service, and " oh... by the way... we can offer you a different service to solve this for you... "

Re: Re: legal actionActually they do... and that's exactly what you will be told if you call (as a new customer) and ask if there is a "limit".
elpedro, 10 Jan 2008 @ 8:55am
Re: legal actionI wrote to the FTC. It can't be any more simple. Unlimited means without limits. Period. But this has been a problem for a long, long time. I have similar experiences. I love the way how they don't identify themselves, record the conversation without your consent (you get a recording telling you), and refuse to put anything in writing. There is no way I know of to contact them by e-mail. If anyone knows, let me know. I do not call back people who don't identify themselves and give a direct callback number to verify their identity. F*ck them.
kristin, 11 Jul 2006 @ 7:08pm
comcast employeethere isnt necissarily a cap per say..... unlimited is measured in time not bandwith as most dialup users well know..... its in the tbps but there isnt specifically a cap # to tell customers primarily you would have to be downlading 800kb constantly all day/24/7 to recieve any letter, someone who never stops for example.. suspicion of illegal activity realistically
utter-disbelief, 29 Sep 2007 @ 5:40pm
Re: comcast employeeThat's crap...
I am a movie buff and sign up for movies on demand, pay sites, etc.....
I PAY for my movies and download a ton of them LEGALLY..
So how is this considered "suspicion of illegal activities"..
Just because others do it illegally, don't group me in with them and then penalize me for it..
ex comcast custmoer, 15 Aug 2006 @ 7:23am
getting back to the pointif there wasn't a cap, then no one would be getting letters. that the cap is "fuzzy" doesn't make it less of a cap. cable internet is pretty much the fastest thing available for the price, and heavy users would be happy to stay within a certain cap and keep the service, but comcast refuses to say what that is. they refuse to say how much a user should cut down. why?
Try calling their "network abuse and policy observance" department. You have to leave a message and hope they call you back. Then ask them yourselves. Try to get a straight answer to any question and you'll see what the frustration is about.
856 324 2025
They sound like a bunch of politicians reciting talking points when they talk about this issue.
"Is there a cap?"
"But I'm downloading too much?"
"How much is too much?"
"I can't tell you that."
"Because that would mean there was a cap, and there isn't."
"If there isn't a cap, then how can I be downloading too much?"
*brain explodes from logic fault*
mojo, 29 Aug 2006 @ 10:56pm
Re: getting back to the pointif you're downloading enough for them to say you're slowing down the network for everyone else, i say that it's best that they ask you to not download so much. why should my internet be affected by your usage if we both pay the same amount?
comcast is good, fast, and cheap. and if they had to make it so everyone could download 400gb/mo then it would cost a lot more.
John, 13 Feb 2007 @ 7:01am
Re: Re: getting back to the pointComcast could put a "BANDWIDTH" limmiter on their cable if they wanted. Why should our usage be a guessing game? Has your connection actually been slowed down by so called abusers? If so, how do you know it wasn't just Comcast making excuces. I use the internet a lot for work and it has never slowed down for any reason. It's been competely down several times though. Bandwidth is supposed to be based on total bytes per second not the total of what you download in a month.
Sandaili, 6 Dec 2007 @ 1:46am
Re: Re: getting back to the pointUm, no.
What they should do is NOT give everyone unlimited internet, then, and impose a cap. That way a slowdown cannot happen.
If their lines can't handle "unlimited" then they have no business selling "unlimited" service, period. It's false advertisement. If we all are supposed to have unlimited, then we should be able to use it all downloading 400GB a month - with NO SLOWDOWN. It's not OUR fault that they lie.
This is not a case of "use common sense". If someone sells you a roast beef sandwich, well, that means you ordered a roast beef sandwich. UNLESS IT IS FROM COMCAST. Get the picture? They need to state when you sign up, a CLEAR limit. Who in their right mind is going to queue up a ton of shit just because they can? That's just retarded.
Fred, 14 Oct 2006 @ 1:02pm
limitsI also got the vague answers from the "network abuse and policy observance" department when they finally decided to call me back. I had to give them specific hours I would be available and then sit around waiting for them to call. This whole process took two weeks. As in the cases above, they said I was downloading "too much" and needed to "cut down drastically". When I asked what that meant, he couldn't answer, besides saying "drastically" again. Is there any truly unlimited ISP out there, because this is baloney?
Dave, 12 Dec 2006 @ 3:28pm
856-324-2025Got a suspicious Call from Comcast security?? Hmm called and got a answering machine! Should have NEVER Called that number!
I then,
Called Comcast 1-800-COMCAST number and they did not recognize this number 856-324-2025 or the party who claims to be abuse or security Comcast people!
There was not record of abuse on my formal Comcast account through the legit Comcast Company as there should not be. The Comcast employee I spoke with took this number down and is forwarding it to her manager.
So Beware! If anyone threatens you, tell them sorry you do not deal with Comcast unless it is through the 1-800-COMCAST number and you will be glad to contact Comcast through that number and they can then relay any type of discrepancies!

And I checked my Giganews usage for October and mine was way higher than normal, I'm sure that is why they are calling. Musta been 175 gigs newsgroups and prob over 100 gigs torrents.

It's not comcast! I called Comcast! like I said before. It's not them! They said they only deal with customers through the 1-800 number.
I suggest everyone call comcast and report the number to them!
So the question is how did these NJ folk get our personal telephone numbers?
Some people have mentioned giganews?
It seems like there is a link between giganews and these NJ folk! Giganews I read came out with a new security thing cost more bucks!
Now how would someone know how much someone downloads and their phone number? Isn't that info on giganews?
I will be writing giganews because I've already talked with comcast! So one it's giganews or two some people have hacked giganews accounts and personal information
So if anyone is doing illegal things is the 856 Mr.
Abusive Comcast Dude (350GB/month), 13 Dec 2006 @ 8:41pm
Yes, (856-324-2025) it's ComcastOr should I say Comcastic?. But it's like the Secret Comcast Security geek squad. Regular support cannot even open the notes on their tickets. BUT if you give them a Network security ticket number, they CAN see who has worked it (ie, the operator ID). So, if you get an abusive network security dweeb (like I did), get the their name and ticket number that you are being contacted about, hang up, call regular support, report the issue, and explain that you would be happy to speak to someone from network security who can talk with you in a non-judgmental, non-abusive, and professional manner. And oh yea, they still won't answer any of your questions, but ask them anyway, and make them smile while they repeat the same thing over and over.
I take great issue with anyone who calls me up and immediately comes off as if I'm a criminal just for using the service. I also take issue with the Comcast employee who posted here with the assumption that 7x24 somehow implies illegal activity. If this represents the present thinking on Comcast managers,then they are about to be in for a world of hurt. (See news about Movie distributor purchase of BitTorrent - i think it's still on the goofy "wheel". Am I getting charged bandwidth every time I have to wait for the wheel to spin??? Hell, just give me the news).
And geez guys, at least you could attempt to hide your contempt for your heavy use customers. Instead of calling us "abusers" (to our face BTW), why not something like "high capacity consumers", and recognize, we are probably the technically elite that recommend (or bad mouth) your customer service to anyone who asks us. And I get a lot of people asking me.
Good news is, they use a top 1% to identify their heavy consumers, and that means there will always be a top 1%, and as more "normal" customers tweak up their usage, so floats up the bottom of that top 1%. I would think if they put a hard cap, that would mean to me they have admitted defeat in growing capacity to meet the demand growth. The trick then becomes figuring out what consumption constitutes their top 1%, and staying just below it. I would love to see a web site where those who get "the call", can list what they were told was their consumption level. Do the math. 1% of 12M customers is 120,000 customers, A MONTH!. I think you could figure out their fuzzy cap if we collected data like that. (BTW, does anyone actually believe they really call all those people EVERY month??? My guess is that you actually have to appear on the report for several months before you get the call, but of course that wouldn't make for as nearly a dramatic phone call and would lead into other questions like, well why didn't you call me sooner?) Security geeks live for the drama.
John, 18 Feb 2007 @ 10:39am
Re: Yes, (856-324-2025) it's ComcastI think the Abusive Comcast Dude has it nailed down. Comcast is going to drop the top 1% volume users until only people who don't need broadband are left and those fools will gladly pay $20.00 to $30.00 a month extra for a lot of wasted bandwidth.

I called 856-324-2025 about 10 times but all a got was the voice mail message. I lost my connection yesterday afternoon and i still dont have internet connection today. Did anyone else have this happen to them. Ill probably call my local comcast service about my situation and see whats up
anon, 14 Dec 2006 @ 12:24pm
ComcrapThey called me back 1.5 days later, said I downloaded over 300 gigs and need to cut my usage back or I get suspended for a year. Wouldn't tell me what the limit was, said there is no limit but my usage was 100x over that of a normal user. Said my connection will be back up this evening. The guy was at least polite.
crapycom.net, 8 Feb 2007 @ 12:00pmI got a call today to about how much i downloaded and also they would not tell me how much other then i have to cut back alot or get cut off for 12 months! Well going to look at verizon now!
John, 13 Feb 2007 @ 6:26am
limitsThey called to tell me I was using too much bandwidth and if it kept up I would be cut off for 12 months. The problem is that Comcast supplied and installed my wireless home network and the contract states that they are also responsible to keep it running properly. Comcast tech. support told me that the beanbags from the Comcast Policy Observance Group must have made a mistake because the router they supplied and installed by their own admission isn't even capable of the bandwidth stated so the cap must be on usage time and download size and not for 'total bytes per second' "tbps" as stated by that COMCAST EMPLOYEE on 7/11/06. I'm going to start out by canceling my automatic payments. Let's see how long it takes them to collect the last months payment if I get cut off.
Dana, 13 Feb 2007 @ 3:16pm
i just got cut offthis is so irritating. comcast has a monopoly out here so i can't really go somewhere else yet. has anyone ever thought about a class action yet....
John, 16 Feb 2007 @ 6:51am
Re: i just got cut offI haven't been cut off yet but if it does happen I intend to go head to head with them in court. I pay more than the average customer for extra bandwidth because my customers are always attaching graphics with their sign orders and I have to reply with proofs of my rendition before production but the same download restrictions apply to me.
Jeff, 18 Feb 2007 @ 2:06pm
Comcast shut me down, then restored service!I recently got shut down by comcast. I received one warning by phone and argued with the
guy when he refused to state what my bandwidth cap should be. I was exasperated to say the
least. He mentioned that I'd been doing about 200GB per month and needed to "drastically
cut back" on my bandwidth usage. He did also mention that I needed to stay off of their
"top 1% of users list". I admit, my family are Internet power users. We have about 5
computers connected to the firewall router and my 8yo daughter uses the connection too.
The next day I called ATT and got signed up for DSL. ATT has new types of DSL that do not
depend on distance to the central office and rely upon remote connection points instead,
where a fiber connection is aggregated for the area and sent back to the CO and then
connected to the Internet backbone. This is a much more scalable architecture and it is
obvious to me that Comcast is very much worried about being able to maintain their current
network in light of some customers downloading Netflix movies and so forth in the months
to come.
The 200GB figure was not completely a surprise to me, as I do various P2P activities on
occasion, we have Vonage and my wife is a homemaker and talks to friends and family every
day. I think software and video downloads on youtube, as well as ebay picture uploads
would account for a great deal of bandwidth in addition to the Vonage use. I did cut back
on downloads quite a bit (I tried to limit to 2GB per day) and thought I would be OK for
the next couple of weeks until ATT DSL was installed; having a date about a week out when
I would get switched on, I continued to do downloads on my Comcast account, albeit at a
much lower level.
I WAS WRONG. My Comcast Internet service was shut off within about a week.
Of course my wife (who uses the phone a lot, as well as the Internet for her business) was
ticked off; po'ed at me and very mad at Comcast. I told her I had been reading DSL reports
and various ISP reviews that indicated that once the service was cut, nobody had been
successful in getting them to turn it back on. Maybe a dozen reports I had read were very
uniform in this respect.
I told her to take the kids and go visit her mother (has DSL) for the weekend and our
service with ATT would be switched on in a few days...
Of course ATT has never been a very progressive company and I found out just how bad they
are when I ordered DSL and realized they had completely fouled up my DSL order, except for
the phone line itself (there are 3 parts: phone line, unlimited LD, and DSL installation)
needed to be completely reordered! They had not completed 3rd party verification of the
ULD, and that was on hold. The DSL order was completely misplaced and had to be reordered.
This pushed out our ATT DSL service date a bit..
ATT it seems is completely unable to track DSL orders for new customers that do not yet
have an ATT phone line. I found this completely unacceptable and inept, and not a small
bit disconcerting! Old school.. they don't even answer the phone after about 9pm pacific.
I pointed out to my wife that our 911 access (via Vonage) had been cut off (by Comcast)
without any notice; a vague warning did not cite any hard limit, and we were not capable
of monitoring our actual usage with any tool provided by Comcast. My emails to
firstname.lastname@example.com (dev null) inbox where merely being autoresponed to and I saw no
coherent responses that looked like a human being was involved. Mean while the wife has a
cell phone and was putting it to good use.
She called the consumer hotlines. She called Sacramento, the state capital. She talked to
neighbors and tried to alert the media of our problem. Finally she ended up at the Public
Utilities Commission. I guess she happened to find the right person there because they
conferenced her in on their calls to Comcast on her behalf and transfered around to
various departments until they ended up with the high speed Internet department.
The PUC lady kept up her mantra "You have disconnected this woman's 911 access without
notice, and she has a sick child at home; if she needs 911 service, you have a HUGE
LIABILITY on your hands here; do you really want that?"
My wife's cell phone finally dropped the call and she was worried but looks like the PUC
did the trick because within an hour, our Internet connection was back on, and we had
a $50 credit to our Comcast bill (!).
I'm posted this around the Internet because it is the first example I had heard of any
success whatsoever in this type of case.
John, 19 Feb 2007 @ 5:08am
Re: Comcast shut me down, then restored service!Well; in light of this I don't know where Comcast is geting off threatening me. I only have 3 computers on my network and it's a rare occasion to have more than 1 online at any given time. My wife uses her's chat, we have a Media Center PC for entertainment but don't download music or movies it only goes online for upgrades and music info for CD's we own and my business computer. I pay $72.95 per month for extra bandwidth to boot because I don't like waiting for my customers graphics to download. I save everything my customers send me even when they don't turn out to be customers. I don't even have 200GB of downloaded graphics on my computer so how could I have downloaded that much in a month? Tech. support assured me my network was seccure and nobody coul hack in without my network key. They also told me the router they supplied couldn't handle that much bandwidth anyway. THREE GUESSES WHO ELSE HAS MY NETWORK KEY: COMCAST, COMCAST, COMCAST!!!!!!!

Cameron, 20 Feb 2007 @ 10:08am
Class ActionMy wife and I are currently discussing this issue with an attorney and are seriously considering filing a class action suit against Comcast because of this issue. If anyone else is interested in this, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include as much information as possible in regards to your problem(s) with Comcast in this regard.
Also, I was on the phone with my local Comcast office today and there is an 865 number that is through Comcast that is for the Internet Security and Legal Issues Department. It is located in New Jersey, there is no toll-free number, and no one other than that office can help you in this matter.
Cameron, 1 Mar 2007 @ 3:51pm
Follow-upI was interviewed today by the ABC affiliate in Atlanta, GA regarding this issue. They're trying to get as much information as they can and are planning on running the story for May sweeps.
I have also spoken to an attorney about the possibility of filing a class action suit. He himself is unable to due to money issues (they're expensive) but he told me that he could put me in touch with a law firm that could handle one. While he didn't come right out and say it, I think that he feels that there is a very good possibility of at least being able to get a class action suit filed in this matter, but I definitely need to get more people on board.

244 gigs...Also received one of those calls a few days ago. I guess, they must be reading from a script, because they also used the term "drastically reduce service". They told me I used 244 gigs of traffic last month - which is probably true, except I've had them for almost 4 years, and I know I've had at least 150-200 gigs of traffic EVERY MONTH for this whole time. I actually didn't have any trouble reaching someone at that 856 phone number - and I called twice, the first time in response to their voicemail, and second time, just to give them a hard time. Also went through the whole logic black hole of "if there isn't a cap, how can I be using my internet too much?" Anyway, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and I would urge anyone to do the same - just to add hundreds of complaints to Comcast's BBB record, even if nothing gets resolved. I did install NetLimiter to see how much traffic I use up this month - the only reason I can cut down on my traffic *somewhat* is that I can use the Internet freely at work. Either way - I get a feeling that Qwest DSL should be looking forward to getting my business real damn soon, because I don't have much patience for this kind of bullshit.

CRAPcomcast cut me off today, they claim I used 280gb of bandwidth whihc is impossible. I never had a problem until I received a comcast leased modem since my modem died. This is BS
Fred, 28 Apr 2007 @ 12:38am
Why cut off?Here in the UK, I use Tiscali. They're very similar, in that they have a mystery cap and no one will tell you what it is. But, they're up front about their 'fair use' policy, and state it's there before you even sign up. And, they don't cut you off; they put you on a network (vlan?) shared by other 'heavy usage' users, so you can continue your large downloads, but on a throttled line.
I wonder why Comcast doesn't do this? They could still be collecting their subs, and would at least appear more honest about their 'cap.'

Comcast Caps4 calls to Comcast reps today... each one stated emphatically that there is NO limit to downloading.
This from a company that I'v been with for 7 years, never downloaded much but when I did, one time only, download a series of movies from my paid for, premium, giganews acount.. I was labeled an "abuser" and trace routes for the past four months show that everything I do is being monitored by Comcast's New Jersey Abuse center.
AQP, 16 Jul 2007 @ 3:55pm
Comcast Buiss AccountJust to let you all know, comcast buiss accounts is holding a promotion for users that want to upgrade to a buiss account, for $59.99 a month, no install.
I got the "Call" a few days ago, and had to chew my way through the abuse dept, the 800-comcast number, and then on to my local comcast franchise holder. I think I have a solution, at $5 more a month.
Hopefully it all works out, and I will keep you power users posted.
Geez they think 388gb a month is bad. Information is NEVER BAD
utter-disbelief, 29 Sep 2007 @ 6:01pmI think the real reason(s) that Comcast does this is that if they ever made public that magic "invisible" bandwidth number that you cannot surpass, it would show everyone how badly they oversold their services, and that they cannot possibly support that which they have already sold...
As someone pointed out earlier, by doing what they are doing, Comcrap can eliminate those customers who actually try to use what they paid for.
Comcrap is happy to cut them lose in order to keep those who don't use that much so that they can continue to over sell their services.
As for everyone getting together for a class-action suit, I don't believe there is a cause of action in which to pursue.. Comcrap is well within their rights to modify and or change their TOS (as they have done) and everyone has agreed to allow them to do so when they signed up..
There are no fraudulent practices as far as I can see... We all voluntarily screwed ourselves when we agreed to their terms... Live and Learn I say...
The only way for Comcrap to be forced into changing their strange business practices is for everyone to just cancel their services and go with another service... Then they would take notice and make changes in order to keep their customer base.. but I don't see that happening anytime soon..
I for one am looking for another service, but as was said by another, Comcrap has the monopoly here where i live and there is no other broadband service offered... Verizon is on the move with FIOS but is still years away... Satellite is too expensive here and dsl is down to about 2 or 3 and they are having troubles as well..
Comcrap has my area locked up and they already own the mayor and city council, not to mention supervisors who granted them exclusive rights to sole broadband for this city... No competition is allowed in.. So no changes from Comcrap is seen in the distant future..
Something is going to give eventually... Till then, we just have to put up with all the (Com)crap...
Thanks for letting me have my say...
The Comcast Devil, 5 Oct 2007 @ 7:32am
What he SaidBesides; if you try to sue, you'll just end up in arbitration. That's where, when you call no one helps or will talk to you for "legal reasons." All given to you in your service agreement that you signed; I do apologize for your inconvenience.
Christine, 18 Oct 2007 @ 8:38am
The Comcast CallI got the call 2 weeks ago!!! I just read that the supreme court ruled on comcasts arbirtration policy. They threw it out and opened up the door to all Class Action Suits....
Lets Join together as American Consumers and protect our rights!!
The contract Comcast made me sign has nothing in it that my "unlimited" service is capped nor does it direct me to that ellusive Excessive Usage Policy" they have online.
Pete, 9 Dec 2007 @ 9:27am
Comcast's dirty poolJust got my call from the "Customer Security Assurance" of something.. 856-324-2025.. via a message left for me by a housemate. Called back and got voicemail. Called back an hour later and got voicemail.
After reading this thread, the general consensus seems to be that the top 1% of users are affected (I'm around 400GB/mo myself).. so how can all of their reps be too busy to answer a *censored* call?
I am also intrigued by some of the stories posted here, and fully intend to use some of the advice given, should I be able to actually talk to (if not verbally throttle) one of these comcrap ghosts..
James, 13 May 2008 @ 8:08pmI regularly download from the internet. I am absolutely positive that I download at least 20GB per month. I live in a small rural community that Comcast just moved into. I am waiting for a call or letter. I would definitely press legal actions if one of these threatening calls or letters came in. The current actions Comcast is taking to limit downloads and torrent files is ridiculous and unheard of among most ISP's. Hopefully the higher-ups at comcast realize the mistakes they will and are making and learn how to run a business. It costs me $50 a month for internet and with the numbers of subscribers to comcast they should be able to afford systems that can handle the demand of their customers.
ed, 20 Nov 2008 @ 5:53pmcomcast's limit is 250gb so if you are using anything below that a month you are fine. if you are exceeding that then there is something wron there because by even down loading tons of movies and music and picutres it should not add up to 250gb.
Xopher, 12 Jan 2009 @ 3:53pm
capEd's right it's 250gb.
I used 354gb last month and got some calls.
They're trying to stop P2P, without throttling it (because the courts says they can't).
I have a feeling that xbox 360 backup copy users will be hitting this cap, not that I'm one of them.

Triblive reports that the city of Pittsburgh has sued Lamar Advertising seeking immediate removal of the large poster atop Mount Washington. The city contends Lamar installed the 32 by 225 foot sign without approval. Last year the city issued a notice of violation. The city's Zoning Board of Adjustment denied Lamar's appeal. The dispute dates back to June 2016. The city unsuccessfully tried to convince a judge that the sign should be removed for maintenance violations in September 2016.

The Perfect Sandwich Container is the sandwich keeper that keeps it fresh! It's the green way to prevent soggy sandwiches. If you pack your lunch or have the kids bring along a snack, you might be interested in reading this review why this new AsSeenOnTV product is called the Perfect Sandwich Container.
What are the common problems that happens with packed sandwiches? Even if you buy from a sandwich store, after being kept for a while, it can get soggy. The vegetables get wilted and squashed. How yucky are mushy sliced tomatoes and lettuce leaves that are turning brown?
With ordinary sandwich containers, the sandwich may look unappetizing even if it is still edible.
Another common problems that occurs when sandwiches are kept for a few hours is the the juicy ingredients can make the bread soggy. If the bread is kinda wet, the texture is no longer as good as it should be. Another thing that happens is the color of the ingredients stain the others.
When you use the Perfect Sandwich Container, these things won't happen.
This is because the Perfect Sandwich Container has special dividers called the FLEXtech. These separators have the versatility needed. That's because one can convert the Perfect Sandwich Container to a build-a-sandwich stack or place a complete sandwich inside.
Another feature that this sandwich keeper has is the PerfectCHILL factor. When the sandwich is placed inside it and kept in the ref or at room temperature, it will stay fresh for a longer period of time. Eliminate the ill effects of storage such as having hard bread when you use the Perfect Sandwich Container.
Instead of using plastic bags, Styrofoam containers, paper towels, and aluminum foil, or that old sandwich keeper, you and your family deserved a well-packed meal. With the see-through cover, the sandwich will be very appetizing to look at when placed on a table to serve.
The Perfect Sandwich Container is a must-have for people who bring sandwiches along. It's great to have a collection of these containers for picnics and occasions as instead of serving a sandwich on an ordinary plate, it will be very presentable and remain fresh. Get the newest AsSeenOnTV sandwich keeper, the Perfect Sandwich Container.

Kuta Beach is a beautiful beach in a southern Bali. Its location is in Badung Regency, 9 km from Denpasar, the capital of Bali exactly near Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport. Kuta is one of the first towns with substantial tourist development and also remains one of Indonesia's major tourist destinations. Its long sandy beach is known internationally, with its varied accommodation, many restaurants and bars, and many renowned surfers.
When the day becomes dark, the nightlife of Kuta often begins too late, at around 23.00. The scene is full of different atmospheres and entertainment in bars and pubs which some of them give live bands, fashion shows, DJ's and sexy dancers. Being hungry and hoping to have a dinner, many restaurants are ready to serve their best recipes with a lot of international cuisines. Some of the famous restaurants in Kuta are B' Couple Bar N' Grill, Blue Fin, ESC, Flapjacks, Gabah Restaurant & Bar, Kopi Pot, Kori Restaurant & Bar, Maccaroni Restaurant & Bar, Made's Warung, Papa's Cafe, Queen's Tandoor, Sailfin, Stadium Cafe, Sushi Tei, Take Restaurant and so on.
Needing a hotel around Kuta beach, do not worry because Kuta also offers its best varied hotels and resorts which most of the them give beachfront locations with their various styles and budget ranges. In these hotels and resorts you can choose your best. It is really the worth town to visit. Kuta with its beauty of the beach will make the tourists feel satisfied and hope to visit it back. Believe it or not, though for 50 years ago Kuta is the village of fishermen nowadays it is called as the International City because this town is the place where tourists all over the world meet each other.

Wonderful night party, in the land of Emirats, city of dream, with best clubs. Enter in this live session you can hear music I play directely from this place.
Top Dubai Clubs
People by Crystal | 360 Club | Armani Privé
1. People by Crystal
address: Raffles Hotel, Sheikh Rached Road, Wafi, Dubai
website: www.peopleofdubai.com
People brings you an incomparable clubbing experience. People nests on top two levels of a large glass pyramid, the 18th and the 19th floors.
The venue's architecture was surely defying for the designers;
However, Prospect Design utilized very inch of the space to transform the venue into an international cutting edge Club.
People by Crystal is by far the sole Club in the world to be located inside of a glass pyramid with 360° panoramic view over the extravagant City of Dubai, its skyscrapers, desert and sea.
The nuance between the glass and the acoustic hushed interior sheds a cozy feel to the place where you will lose yourself in a millieu that combines lounges and private spaces far from the cool and rigid aspects of the big Clubs.
The distinction of the Club's elements is ispirated by a breakthrouugh art of light effects that transform the back lit arabesque bars and columns into masterpieces.
People Club ambiance invites you to make yourself feel at home with the leather and velvet couches and the thick cozy carpet spread inside of the VIP space with an emphasis on the bronze tone.
A well researched distribution of furnishings and key elements complimented by a well studied design that aims at bringing the clubbing scene into the highest level where people will mingle and party like there is no tomorrow on the sounds of the best DJ's and along with A list celebrities and stars.
The Club will be on fire! As a matter of fact, you cannot help not noticing the PEOPLE letters drawn in fire at the entrance of the Club...
Extending over 2 floors, the 1000 mq space boasts breathaking views of both Dubai and of the iconic masterpieces exhibited by interior designers Andrew Martin and Philippe Starck, there can't be a better venue for a conference banquet, wedding or corporate event than People by Crystal.
With a wide variety of facilities run by experts and professionals in the hospitality and event fields, People club is adaptable to make any event worthwhile.
2. 360 Club
address: Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Jumeirah, Dubai
website: 360 Club
There can't be many bars in the world like 360°. Set at the end of its very own pier, the heli-pad shaped outdoor space boasts panoramic views of Dubai's coastline, the Burj al Arab's light show and vivid sunsets over the Arabian Ocean. During the week, it's all about the shisha, comfy seats and laidback tunes. Come Friday night, however, and it's transformed into a hedonistic, electronic playground with local and international talent.
The superbly showy crowd arrives in two waves: the first at 5pm for sundowners, followed by the after-8pms, who come and don't leave until they're forced out at 2am. A must for tourists and residents alike – just be sure to get your name on the guestlist at the weekends, and remember to pack a fat wallet.
3. Armani Privé
address: Armani Hotel Dubai, Downtown Dubai, Dubai
website: Armani Privé
Milan'S Exclusive Armani/Priv lounge comes to the city at Armani Hotel in Dubai
This VIP lounge hosts the most exciting nights in Dubai. Meet up with old friends and make new ones, then dance into the early hours to the vibrant beats of the resident DJ, as well as visiting and international guest DJs.
Armani/Priv is the citys preferred after-hours destination for fast-paced fun.

There is a great song by Bob Dylan entitled "Desolation Row". It contains a line which is quite apropos this morning. Dylan, in the song says, "after the ambulances go,the only sound left is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row".
Wall Street is Desolation Row this morning. The ambulances (Fed and Treasury) have left the scene and solitary Cinderella is sweeping up the pieces.
Anyway, prices of Treasury coupon securities have skyrocketed in response to the sad and historic events which have swept across the financial landscape this weekend.The yield on the benchmark 2 year note has plummeted an eye popping 37 basis points to 1.84 percent. The yield on the 5 year note has tumbled 33 basis points to 2.61 percent. The yield on the 10 year note has crashed 23 basis points to 3.49 percent. The Long Bond has dropped 15 basis points in yield to 4.17 percent.
The 2year/10 year spread has widened dramatically to 164 basis points from about 150 basis points on Friday.
The 2year/ 5 year/30 year butterfly spread which I follow as an indicator of the relative movement of the belly of the curve versus the wings has exploded to 79 basis points from 65 basis points.
Equity markets are in free fall with European markets down,on balance, about 3.5 percent. Trading in futures markets indicates tht US equities will drop about 3 percent when trading begins in New York in several hours.
At this early hour oil is off about $4 and is trading in the middle 90s. It is off more than$50 from its peak in July. I wonder if any speculators have shorted the liquid on the way down. That would be horrible and they should return their profits to the government.
Today will be a very volatile trading session in every market. Watch the spread markets for clues. (I do not have any clues yet because the folks I speak to are not at their desks yet,) I will watch swap spreads ,the IG 10 , and the CDS on some of the troubled names still afloat.
I think the real economy is in serious trouble. Risk aversion is ascendant. Risk taking is shunned. Capital is a resource to be husbanded and conserved. Banks which have just funded a special purpose vehicle to provide liquidity to themselves will not be racing to make risky loans to Main Street or Wall Street. Leverage will be disdained and shunned.
Every revolution from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution has ended in excess. So ,too, will this revolution in the financial industry as banks and traders painfully and reluctantly reeducate themselves in the art of prudent risk taking.

Art Show
It has taken me most of this week to recover from the weekend art show. After preparing for it for so long it feels strange to have it over. It was a lot of work, but really good. I love all the feedback I get. I love to see what people are buying, which greatly varies depending on the season. I was thankful and surprised to see so many returning customers, and greatful for all my family and friends who helped or just stopped by for a quick "hi". Thank you all!
I forgot my camera (what a bad photographer I am) but luckily my sister-in-law let me use her's to snap a few pictures before they left town. This is the end of the day on Sunday, picked through and messy. Though it makes me happy to see all of my large canvas pieces hanging together.

Kim Kardashian Inspired Smokey Eye!!!!
2 comments :
Check out Lauren Luke's tutorial on how to get the Kim K. look :)ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, I love this look! I am sure you will get a lot of comments on this because of the way it brings out your eyes. They have almost a silver sparkle to them. You look beautiful and you are very talented! I watched some of your videos last night and I love how you are so down to earth and you aren't all full of yourself like a lot of the makeup gals get on the internet. I know this isn't related to this post - but in your "Self-Tanner review video", for the Jergens, I was wondering, I am white like, let's just say nw15 wouldn't even work out for me right now... I usually go tanning but can't due to health problems and I really wan't that sun kissed glow again. Would I get the shade (light, medium, or dark) based on what my skin tone is? Or do I get the shade of the desired tan that I would like? I would like to try to be medium, but I am a little scared that I would not turn out right. Haha, but you seem to look great, so if you could get back to me on this that would be AWESOME of you! You rock girl, have a great day!ReplyDelete

Business Accounting Service
As your business develops and grows, your requirements will change. It stands to reason, therefore, that our services should change too.
No matter what stage your business is at, or what your personal ambitions are, we will tailor and adapt our support to match.
Starting out
Of the many considerations for new businesses, tax planning is vital in order to establish the most appropriate business structure and avoid having to correct inefficient or non-compliant arrangements. Our advice will therefore include the following:
- Establishing the most appropriate business structure i.e. sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP) or limited company
- The different options for the directors to draw their remuneration and for the shareholders to draw their profits
- The impact of national insurance contributions and ways of mitigating these costs
- Tax relief on business funding, e.g. Seed Enterprise Investment Schemes (SEIS) and standard EIS
- Vat administration including registration, cash or invoice accounting and the flat rate scheme (FRS)
- Setting up a payroll and auto enrolment for workplace pensions
Growing business
Once a business has become established and is growing, expansion is likely to mean that the owners will need to delegate key tasks to mangers and staff and it is therefore important to attract and retain the best quality people for your business. Tax planning can play a vital role in this process by ensuring that you have tax effective remuneration and reward packages in place. You will also want to ensure that you take advantage of all other tax planning opportunities so that you can maximise the amount of cash for investment in the business and we will help you to do this by advising you on a range of tax reliefs including the following:
- Tax efficient remuneration packages for the staff
- Incentivising key staff through equity sharing, in particular tax approved Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) share options
- Attracting further investment through the use of the Enterprise Investment Scheme or Venture Capital Trust (VCT)
- Maximising the tax reliefs on property and other asset acquisitions
- Using company group structures to reduce exposure to financial risk on diversification whilst avoiding the tax traps
- Making the transition from VAT cash accounting to the invoice basis
Mature business and Retirement or Sale
As the business matures and the profits increase, business owners need to consider how to protect those profits from excessive tax charges. There are a number of key tax reliefs that can be claimed on qualifying business expenditure and other opportunities to organise your affairs which include the following:
- Claiming maximum tax reliefs on innovation by making use of enhanced relief for R&D expenditure and other similar costs
- Ensuring that any business acquisitions are arranged in a tax efficient manner
- Early planning for retirement through tax approved pension schemes
- Making sure that adequate provision has been made for the financial protection of dependents in the event of illness or death
- The use of trusts to involve the family in the ownership of the business and reduce the overall tax burden
- Ensuring that the company structure is appropriate for passing on to the next generation or to management by means of corporate restructuring
As retirement or sale approaches, business owners need to consider how they would like to structure the sale in order to minimise the impact of capital taxes on the proceeds and how to structure their finances after the sale in order to enjoy a comfortable retirement. Some of the matters which require consideration include the following:
- Ensuring that the proceeds of a business sale qualify for entrepreneurs relief (10% rate of capital gains tax)
- Arranging the business assets so that any investments required for retirement are segregated from those which are to be sold
- Putting in place a realistic and tax efficient financial plan for retirement
- Taking action to mitigate inheritance tax, using trusts where appropriate and ensuring that Wills are tax efficient
- Making adequate financial provision for children and grandchildren through tax effective gifts
- Where moving overseas is a consideration, making sure that advantage is taken of all available tax reliefs

For Will's birthday I made a Cinnamon Apple Cake. I'm not a huge lover of cakes, but with whole wheat flour and 4 entire apples in this cake, I can't turn it down. And it is oh so yummy! I thought I would share the recipe.
This is a cake that the kids love to help with. My sister got us this apple peeler a few years ago, and it has become one of my favorite kitchen tools.
After I put the apples on, the kids can grind it through themselves.
And it makes eating the apples so fun! You end up with a very long string of apple peel, and a slinky of perfectly sliced apples. Then all I have to do is dice the slices up.
Cinnamon Apple Cake
2 cups white sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
3 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1/4 cup orange juice
4 cups apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped (about 4 apples)
Cream cheese frosting (whip together):
1/4 cup butter at room temperature
5 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 13x9 dish. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Whip eggs until frothy, about 3 to 4 minutes then add oil and orange juice and mix thoroughly. Add dry ingredients and beat with whip at low speed until thoroughly combined. Fold in apples and pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, covering with aluminum foil the last 20 minutes so the top doesn't get too brown. Cool completely, then frost.
And here's Will going at it. He used his thumb and index finger to pinch off tiny pieces, taking about 30 minutes or so to finally eat the whole thing. But he loved every bite!

6 Players to Avoid in Fantasy Football Drafts
This past week I visited the fine dining establishment known as Wendy's for the first time in years. It was 11:00 p.m., I was hungry, and I remembered how much I used to love their $0.99 Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. I figured for less than five dollars I could eat like a wealthy peasant once again, so I swung through the drive thru with anticipation and, I'll admit it, genuine excitement.
But the establishment I once praised for its value and "good enough" food quickly ended that excitement, with a menu that no longer featured several items for under a buck. That delicious Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger that was, admittedly, more bread than anything else, was now listed at a $1.99! I can only assume it's because they added gold flakes to the mustard or something, but I'll never know for sure -- because I left that drive thru and went straight to Taco Bell.
Did I regret the digestive implications of that decision? Of course I did! But the value I received from The Bell allowed me to feel substantially more comfortable with what was going to be a mistake no matter what I had consumed that night.
So what does this have to do with your upcoming fantasy football draft? Everything! And even if you don't believe me, at least I will have enlightened you to the rising prices at Wendy's.
You see, at Taco Bell, I can get a bean burrito for $1.29. It may not taste as good as a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, but it's cheaper, just as filling, and comparably edible. At 11:00 p.m., it does the job. So why spend the extra money at Wendy's when you can find better value just across the street?
The same goes for a fantasy football draft. When a talented but flawed player is available for a reasonable price, you pounce. But if that same player is hyped to the point where his flaws are being ignored and his price is skyrocketing, go find the bean burrito.
The reality is, every player in fantasy has value. Yes, even the mediocre ones. What is important for us to do is to determine what that value is. To evaluate all the data points we have received throughout the long and drawn out offseason and to do our best to accurately assess where a player should be taken.
Sometimes average draft position (ADP) data doesn't make a lot of sense based on what we've learned during training camp and the preseason, forcing fantasy owners to place an "avoid" tag on particular players. This doesn't inherently mean that these players are terrible at football or won't contribute on the field but instead that their value is over-inflated to an unreasonable level based on the red flags that surround that player.
For example, last year Montee Ball was being selected 10th overall in drafts due more to his opportunity in a Peyton Manning offense than anything he had done on the field. He was a player I avoided at that price because it was far too risky based on the data points we had at the time.
Giovani Bernard had one unbelievable run on national television and he became an overnight sensation despite offseason warning signs that he could be a part time player.
Remember Cordarrelle Patterson? Yeah...
If you're not sure who those players are this year in fantasy football, don't worry. We've identified some likely players who will fail to provide a strong return on your investment. Start the slideshow to see which six NFLers are worth avoiding in 2015 based on their current draft position.

Lyrics: Dorian Rudnytsky, Manos Hadjidakis
She was a lady once of noble name, noble dame.
She has a silver ring from her king
Give her a nickel, take her out to dine, give her wine.
Comfort her if she sighs and then cries.
Look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello
Don't be afraid to smile and then go
And if you see her talking to herself all alone,
Leave her alone, her heart is at home.
She was a lady once without a care, golden hair.
She was the only friend of the king
Maybe she'Il come and ask you for your name, noble Dame.
We'll give our love to her on her way.

And, guess what? I have another book to add to that list.
Bared to You by Sylvia Day is eerily similar to 50 Shades: rich, attractive man with major comittment issues falls in love/lust/etc. with a middle class woman. The difference, it seems, is that the one with past "issues" is the main female protagonist.
From Goodreads:
Our journey began in fire... Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness-beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily... Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds... and desires. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...
Like when I read any good smut novel, I couldn't put it down. But, this time, I felt much more able to relate to the characters. Gideon is a powerful business executive, and Eva a young 20-something who is living in an apartment in NYC as an administrative assistant with a supremely overprotective mother. When Gideon meets Eva, he is predictably taken with her, and we witness a fast-moving, powerful courtship that forces both of them to confront their pasts.
This novel is intense, riveting, capturing, and erotic. If you liked 50 Shades, you will like this novel. If you think you'd like 50 Shades without the kink, or with better writing, you'll like this novel. It's definitely a great way to pass a rainy afternoon/evening/morning!

Today's the day to make the shift from inspiration hoarder mode to a maker mindset. There's just a few steps to get started.
Here's the story.
Today you are going to transform from an inspiration hoarder to a maker.
Tell me if this sounds familiar.
You love finding inspiration – whether it is on Pinterest, blogs, magazines or somewhere else. It doesn't matter if it is craft projects, DIY projects, or something else entirely. You are constantly coming across totally awesome stuff you want to make. But, after awhile you start to notice that you have collected hoards of inspiration but have yet to do anything with it.
Today that changes.
Today you go from inspiration hoarder to maker.
Maybe you collect all kinds of ideas because you like them – great, you should continue to do that – but you have a hard time getting started with them because you don't necessarily have the skills to do it, or the project materials might be expensive, or maybe you don't have the time right now to commit to completing the project. Any one of these reasons could be what is keeping you from getting started.
So you don't do that project – then you don't do any project.
Your goal today is going to be to find a project that you can complete. Keep it small, minimal, somewhat simple. You want to get an easy win on this one and transform your mindset from someone who collects inspiration but does not follow through into that of that into a maker – someone who see an idea or finds inspiration + actually creates something.
If you want to be a maker, you actually have to do that work – you have to make stuff.
The first thing to decide is what you want to make. This should be easy because you already have so much inspiration saved up. Head over to wherever it is that you collect your inspiration – Pinterest, a journal, a notebook, a bulletin board, a folder on your desktop, etc. Go through it. Pick something simple. You are looking for something that will take an hour or less of your time. Also, choose a project where you already have the materials or you can easily find them at a local store. Choose a project that will allow you to get started right away.
If you've got a big long list of inspiration, go through and cross off the ones that are going to take you too much time. Then cross off all of the ones that you need to learn a new skill for. (One point – I'm not saying cross them off forever, just for now until you get started with a creative habit). Cross all the ones that require materials that are too expensive.
Here's my example. Here is my DIY board on Pinterest. These are all things that I think are awesome, pretty, or in some cases totally awesome. I want to make them all!
Now here is my board with projects crossed off that I thought would be too difficult, too time consuming or too expensive for my first one. Here's the project I am going to do first.
I picked my project – something easy with only a few materials and hard to mess up – the project that is going to help me go from inspiration hoarder to maker.
Next, I am going to figure out what resources/materials I need to complete this project. I'll make a list and gather them.
Then, if I think about my time – when can I actually do this? During my kids' nap time? After work + dinner? A chunk of time on the weekend? If you are actually going to do this, you need to prepare so that when you have that chunk of time, you actually execute – you make something! Instead of saying that I only have an hour and I need to decide what I want to do, go to the store, learn a new skill, etc. Not going to happen that way!
Set yourself up for success by doing the preparations first.
Finally, Is there anything you need to learn before trying? If I I want to hand-letter, should I watch some Youtube videos, or should I just start making. Decide now.
Go make.
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. One very important point I need to make.
Your first go round is probably going to suck. Most likely it won't look just like that pin from Pinterest. It's not going to look just like that Instagram post. You are probably going to feel bad about that, it's natural. But, then stop and think. Whoever made the source of inspiration probably made it a few times to get it to look perfect. Or, they practice their creativity all the time, so it is going to look amazing. Whereas this is the first time you have tried it, so of course it is not going to look the same. Understand that as you shift from inspiration hoarder mode to a maker mindset, you are probably going to create some total garbage at first. But you have to do that in order to get to the good stuff. You might even throw away some of the stuff you make – that's okay. You are putting in the practice so that you can increase your skills.
Okay, back to it – go make something!
You did it? Awesome some sauce.
Okay, here is the deal. Going from inspiration hoarder to maker is not a one time transition unless you actually make a practice habit out of it.
Here are some links to making a creative practice habit. Here and here.
Get started!

A few of the highlights this year include a cruise which Brett and I took with friends to Belize and Cancun in January, which was a terrific way to start the new year! In the summer we went on countless camping and fishing trips as a family including going to Calaveras Big Trees to see the sequoias & redwoods. We went to San Francisco, visited family, hit Tahoe, and spent plenty of time at home playing with friends in the neighborhood, swimming, going on drives, and curling up together to watch movies and play games. I wasted plenty of time on Pinterest, worked on some crafts, and spent the rest of my days trying out yummy new recipes between loads of laundry and shuttling kids about. And Brett, ever the hobby whore, raised chickens, built a shed, got a woodworking shop, and is working on building some furniture, when he isn't at Scouts, wrestling the kids, or, oh yeah, working his day job!
In short, we've had a busy, happy year!
Our kids have grown and changed so much. Here's a little about our brood:
Merry Christmas!

text: Graeme Swann basks in the glory of a successful Test as England hold on to the number one spot - for now [GETTY[ Graeme Swann claimed a match haul of 10 wickets as England roared to a series-levelling win over Sri Lanka in the second and final Test on Saturday to retain their number one ranking. Swann followed his four wickets in the first innings with six in the second as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 278 at the stroke of lunch on the fifth day at the P. Sara Oval in Colombo. England, set a modest target of 94, coasted home by eight wickets despite a brief stutter at 31-2 following the dismissals of skipper Andrew Strauss for no score and Jonathan Trott for five. Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen carried the tourists home with a brisk third-wicket stand of 66 in 69 balls, amid wild celebrations from some 5,000 travelling English fans at the ground. Left-hander Cook remained unbeaten on 49 and Pietersen, who hit a century in the first innings, smashed 42 not out from 28 balls, signalling his team's emphatic victory with a six off Tillakaratne Dilshan. Number one "We are still number one, for a while yet, hopefully," said Strauss, who has been under pressure for both his leadership skills and his poor form with the bat. "The most important thing was winning the game. We did not want to walk away from Sri Lanka having lost the series. I'm delighted by the way the guys reacted to the challenge. "At the end of the day this will look like a reasonably comfortable victory, but we all know how hard we had to work for that. It's been a tough winter and we're delighted to come through at the end of it." Final day scorecard Sri Lanka first innings 275 England first innings 460Sri Lanka second innings (overnight 218-6)D Prasad c Bresnan b Finn 34 L Thirimanne c Strauss b Anderson 11 T Dilshan c Anderson b Swann 35 K Sangakkara c Prior b Swann 21 M Jayawardene c Cook b Swann 64 T Samaraweera b Swann 47 S Randiv b Swann 0 A Mathews c Strauss b Finn 46 P Jayawardene b Swann 2 R Herath c Anderson b Patel 2 S Lakmal not out 4 Extras 12 Total (all out, 118.5 overs) 278 Fall of wickets: 1-23, 2-64, 3-104, 4-125, 5-215, 6-215, 7-238, 8-242, 9-251, 10-278.England second innings A Strauss b Dilshan 0 A Cook not out 49 J Trott lbw b Herath 5 K Pietersen not out 42 Extras 1 Total (two wickets, 19.4 overs) 97 Fall of wickets: 1-0, 2-31. It was England's first win in five Tests on their Asian sojourn this year after being thrashed 3-0 by Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates and losing the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. The ICC confirmed that England and South Africa were level at the top of the Test charts with 116 rating points, but Strauss' men nudged ahead when the ratings were calculated beyond the decimal point. Strauss saluted Swann, man-of-the-match Pietersen and seamer Jimmy Anderson. "Anderson was outstanding on an unresponsive wicket, Swann proved his worth once again and Pietersen showed everyone why he is such a special talent," the skipper said. Punished Sri Lanka, currently ranked sixth, paid the price for not reaching 300 in either innings of the match and will remain without a series win since 2009, when they beat New Zealand at home. Skipper Mahela Jayawardene, who ended with 354 runs in four innings at an average of 88.50 with two hundreds and a half-century, was declared the man of the series. "We knew England would come hard at us because good players and good teams always step up to the plate," Jayawardene said. "We made a few mistakes. It was important to get a big first-innings score, which is always so important in our part of the world. We probably fell 100 runs short. "And then KP (Pietersen) came and turned the game around. His century shifted the momentum of the Test match. We were outplayed on the first two days and that proved the big difference." Jayawardene paid rich tribute to Swann, saying he was one of the best spinners he had faced. "We knew going into the series that Anderson and Swann would be the main threats because they can bowl well in any conditions," he said. "It was a hard-fought series. We made mistakes and we have to learn from that and become more consistent going forward." SOURCE: AFP Sport Cricket New Zealand Pakistan South Africa
