Comcast limits bandwidth, the hun, 1 yr suspension

Comcast is rolling out a user bandwidth limit in October.
If a user exceeds the limit twice in a six month period their account will
be suspended for 1 year!

The limit is 250 Gigs per month.


Comparison (server account VS user account) :

When I used to post galleries to the hun I would use a gallery with 16 pics and
all pics were 100K or more, some over 200k (1 reason why I kept getting listed).
I would use between 8 and 12 gigs a day for that one gallery.

250 gigs divided by 30 days is 8.3 gigs a day.

So if I had used slightly smaller pics on my galleries or 12 pics instead of 16 then
I would have been within the 250 gigs.

So my server account could(in the past) post a gallery to the hun everyday and still meet this limit. (don't know what the hun burn on bandwidth today)

So if this is not enough bandwidth for a regular user account then I have no idea of
what the user must be doing.

Maybe if you are doing the entire upload of your new paysite members area this could
be a problem; but then just put it on CD and have the server tech load it.
