Comcast to roll out monthly usage cap

Here’s how it justifies it: “250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of data, much more than a typical residential customer uses on a monthly basis. Currently, the median monthly data usage by our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB. To put 250 GB of monthly usage in perspective, a customer would have to do any one of the following:

-- Send 50 million e-mails (at 0.05 KB/e-mail)

-- Download 62,500 songs (at 4 MB/song)

-- Download 125 standard-definition movies (at 2 GB/movie)

-- Upload 25,000 hi-resolution digital photos (at 10 MB/photo).”

Of course HD streaming will also speed up that limit.
I wonder if they have a website you can look up your usage?
