Downloading around 100 gigs of content... think i'll get a call from my cable company?

I got unlimited here . Normal access only have 20 gb limit a month .

I download as high as 5000 kb sec with mine :P

Mine says "unlimited" but there's a clause in there somewhere that says a certain amount.

How much does yours cost for the unlimited?

you may want to try calling your cable comapny whoever they are and asking them what the fine print means. if you can't understand it yourself then they would probably be the best ones to ask and not us if you are worried.

most likely 100gb shouldnt be too big of a problem. cook that coax son

yeah, smoke 'em if you got 'em... If they bitch - tell 'em somebody hacked your wireless router.

Nah, im not too worried... worst case scenario is they cut me off, then I call them to find out whats up, act like i didn't know, and they reconnect me.

Or if they tell me im suspended for a week or whatever, then i threaten to move to another company and they'll hook me right back up.

sometimes I get upwards of 100gb a month, and no one says a thing

i have our cable modem split up between 3 apartments in our house, 6 computers....

Yeah, 100gb in a few days might raise some concerns though.

A couple of friends got letters last week from Shaw cable for excessive bandwidth.

They don't advertise how much you are allowed to use but if you call and ask, the say 20 gig per month combined for upload and download.

That's on the high speed package.

The fellow said there was a few packages above this and all of them start at 50gig, but of course they are more money.
