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.

You are retarded. This is for RESIDENTIAL users. And if you are using your RESIDENTIAL account to host your galleries you are violating Comcast's TOS anyways.

For the VAST majority of residential users 250 GB is more than enough bandwidth.
