comcast 400 gig per month limitations - personal accounts - GoFuckYourself.com

pr0 · 04-01-2008, 12:52 PM

i suggest anyone that does content management/media related advertising quickly switch to a business account (and I'm not even sure that will fix the issue)

starting last month comcast is auditing accounts & if your modem goes over 400 gig up/down combined total a month... your modem will be disabled

the 2nd warning consists of your service being terminated for 12 months

oh & you get to sit on the phone for 3 hours (minimum) to reach their security dept

just figured i would let all of you guys know.....they fucked me & a couple people i know over

no this is not a april fools joke....its 100% real

personally they can suck my cock....we're getting fiber in our new offices & i might just go buy a pickup truck to hit cable box's with now

thats real gay

pornguy · 04-01-2008, 01:02 PM

Fucking amazing.

tranza · 04-01-2008, 01:15 PM

That's fucked up...

But how did you manage to download/upload 400 gigs a month??????????

arial · 04-01-2008, 01:16 PM

So why the fuck do flaunt 14mbs down to limit you too 400GB lame.

IllTestYourGirls · 04-01-2008, 01:26 PM

any proof of this ie links on comcast? If not I call bs aka april fools.

dav3 · 04-01-2008, 01:28 PM

That does suck.

woj · 04-01-2008, 01:28 PM

It sucks, but 400G/month is pretty significant... that's over 1Mbit/sec 24/7... under normal conditions it's pretty tough to come even close to that...

Jace · 04-01-2008, 01:36 PM

are you running servers from your house? jesus!

1mbps to someone in this business is significant?

i thought everyone was uploading content to servers 24-7

shit i guess i missed that memo

sandman! · 04-01-2008, 03:04 PM

thats like 13 gigs a day usage every day.

not that easy to pull off i download alot and i dont think im too close to going over.

bDok · 04-01-2008, 09:43 PM

i upgraded my lame cox connection and still isn't fast enough for upload speed to server. I really wish FIOS was happening in my area. MAX i get 150K a second upload. fucking bullshit. I want at least 1 Mbps to my servers.

see thats what the fucking im saying

GrouchyAdmin · 04-02-2008, 12:01 AM

So, you were doing far more bandwidth than anybody but torrenters (read: illegal, not Linux distributions) would use, and are pissed that you got caught?

caught?

caught distributing legitimate files to work related servers

more like harassed/or falsely singled out for usage that might LOOK like "illegal" usage

anyways this was a notice for others to upgrade to a business account so they don't run into the same issues....in other words....i took one for the team & shared

you don't talk shit to people who come on GFY to help others....you encourage them

by the way nice whole 6 friends on your adultwhoswho....& no picture I'm not surprised usually people with your attitude wear a Moo-Moo and don't go outside

iMind · 04-02-2008, 12:44 AM

I dunno 400gigs from home account seems like an awful lot of bandwidth to me.

yea well you're obviously not into high definition content/marketing yet

simply uploading/transferring 88 new REGULAR dvd titles to servers would eat up 400, much less bluray etc.

ever set up a members area?

plus i have to keep tabs on outsourced employees via a live feed 24-7

security cam uplinks from the office to remote storage

VOIP transmissions

checking out the occasional documentary stream during a lunch break....watching a new music video on youtube, streaming music while i work...

etc.

it adds up when you spend 15 hours a day on a computer....i think many of you lack the dedication it takes to burn 400 gigs

I agree. I'd burn that in roughly a week with data backups and the like. Thanks for the heads up Pr0.

flashfire · 04-02-2008, 01:38 AM

I have used 400 in a month before...hd video anyone?

you guys and your 56k's

qxm · 04-02-2008, 02:35 AM

I need to upgrade my puny 500GB hard drive to burn that much......glad I'm not with comcast though.....

bigalownz · 04-02-2008, 03:44 AM

didnt they have some thing about p2p being caped?

may be thats why

i dont know about the usa

but here and aussie most isp's plans have data caps
then you pay for extra for every gb over

But were you on a business account? Going over 400 gigs a month is pretty damn extreme on a personal account. If it's a biz account then I feel yea but if you are just using a personal account and burning that much B/W hell I'd disable your modem too.

I'm not a fan of comcast, but cable is a shared system.. if you are using that much B/W then you are affecting everyone in your local area.

I agree. Get a biz account if your uploading that much shit.

if you guys actually had read my post....you would see the entire basis of the post....

WAS TO INFORM PEOPLE TO UPGRADE TO A BUSINESS ACCOUNT

and i just upgraded yesterday....for the next month until our new office is finished

public service annoucement turned into a piss-fest.....god i hate gfy man....no personal offense to you daytona crockett

stickyfingerz · 04-03-2008, 12:50 PM

Ive probably done well over 400gb at certain points, but dont hit that on a regular basis. And having been a customer of theirs for over 8 years between "@home" and then comcast when they go bought out. And I had the "gold Tier" package for years before they came out with the newer cheaper package at 52.00 a month. I used to pay 120.00 a month just for internet for years. I added it up one time what I had payed them and its probably somewhere around 15,000.00. So if they shut me off now I would be VERY VERY pissed lol.

Makingcoin · 04-03-2008, 01:25 PM

Thanks for the info, why don't you tards read the thread before posting.

Barefootsies · 04-03-2008, 03:34 PM

I posted this warning a week or two back. No one cares.

Guess should have posted "Would you hit it" with a picture of Comcast HQ.

farkedup · 04-04-2008, 07:42 AM

its not a big deal, I know that I use a LOT of bandwidth so went straight to a business account when I set shit up. download a single HD movie every day and its easy to go beyond that. I've had 8-12Mb downloading constantly for the past 13 days now.

I think they get more pissed about uploads than downloads.
