Comcast limits bandwidth, the hun, 1 yr suspension

08-29-2008, 08:06 AM

Comcast is rolling out a user bandwidth limit in October.
If a user exceeds the limit twice in a six month period their account will
be suspended for 1 year!

The limit is 250 Gigs per month.

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.

Probably only applies to home user accounts and not business user accounts. If you are doing that much volume bite the bullet and get a business account.

This is a user usage ban. So it is more like they could look at your gallery 1000 times and then do the same every day for a month. It will crimp the file sharing is all.

What's silly is believing that someone downloading that much stuff is actually paying
for it.

The limit is design to stop exactly what you just described. Copyright theft.

The bandwidth issue in this Country is going to go nuts very short like. All the Telco companies that got millions to upgrade but spent it on a fat bonus, are about to go belly up.

The fact is, we really do have unlimited bandwidth, the telcos were given the money to upgrade, and they spent it on other things. Now we the people WILL pay the price, as more ISP's do this, we will have less people buying/downloading.

End of Piracy?

If you don't know what Network Neutrality is you should read up on it and make sure you don't support it. The network neutrality law would damn near kill online porn within the United States.

If you are using over 250Gb a month, you should expect to at least pay more.

I'm just a newbie.

I'm quite sure they'll have something to sell the "high usage" residential customers into rather than just turning them off. For the average consumer in our marketplace this will increase the performance they are getting if Comcast is able to limit the kiddies and other abhorrent users.

I compared a server usage (my galleries) to a client account usage(PC at home).

Notice the word "comparison" in the post.

The point was that if I didn't use that much on the server then why would anyone
need that much for normal surfing.

no, retard.

my point was this is not a new thing for comcast, it's been an ongoing issue for years.

a quick google pulls up this article regarding the cutoff from over a year ago.

Honestly they should have made the policy a little different. Different tiers of service should include different amounts of bandwidth, additional bandwidth should be available for extra. Pay for what you use.

Why is the hun in the title of this thread?

They should be limiting traffic to help fight piracy not because their service can't handle it..

I'm going to bail out of this thread.

Because I don't use comcast; don't host galleries on my PC and don't know how people
got that from what I posted.

This shit is too stupid for me to keep posting.

Who the fuck needs 250gb?? honestly?

I think it will just encourage people to use newer file compression technology anyways..

What. The. Fuck. Is. The. Original. Post. Saying?

I understand the limiting the customers internet to only 250gb/mo (fairly reasonable). But the rest...

This just doesn't make sense.. A lot of HUGE companies are just laying down for this?

What I'm trying to figure out as well as the rest of us.. is how the 250 limit will affect us.

For example, if I were to download one 1gig movie daily type of scenario (then you have to consider uploading, etc).

Can someone set up a scenario where we can actually gauge this?

Might be a lot of complaining over nothing is all.

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.

It's horribly said and horribly laid out, if my little nephew who's 14 brought me that and asked me to look over it as a piece of writing for school i would tell him to fuck off and learn to write. WTF is user account vs server account mean? Isn't easier to say Bandwidth used at home vs Bandwidth used on my server type thing?

Confused the fuck out of me and then sortie saying dumb shit like learntofuckingread.org made me a little pissed.
