Comcast to limit customers' broadband usage - Oct 1

Comcast said it was setting a monthly data usage threshold of 250 gigabytes per account for all residential high-speed Internet customers, or the equivalent of 50 million e-mails or 124 standard-definition movies.

Around here we've had limits since day one. 250 GB is more than ample for most people. I work online 7 days a week up to 14 hours a day while listening to internet radio, then I play some online games and I have never even come close to 100. I bet most of the people that complain about 250GB/mo are either file sharing or have no idea how little bandwidth they actually use.

if you need more, then you should have business class internet. its just like a dedicated server, they have to pay for your usage to their own backbone uplinks.

What kind of speed are you getting with DSL?

Yeah, 8+ gigs per day isnt too bad. I rarely hit that, and i do tons of movie uploading/downloading for my sites.
