BBR Users Fail Math
These caps are equal to 3% of a user's upload 24/7. In Comcast's area, that would be 324 MB a day for 6/1 service, or 9.7 GB a month.
These caps are much, much worse for the service offered than Comcast's rumored 250 GB cap or the actual 400+ GB cap they currently use to remove excessive users from their network today.

Another is to say that, in this example, the provider allows its customers to download about 29GB of data more than Comcast.
I don't think percentages tell the whole story in this example. |

The main difference is that these caps are on upload only.
Since there is no download cap, this may actually be fine better for most users. Uploading Youtube/pictures/video clips, it would take some time to hit 9.7GB on a 1Mbps connection.

"The actual 400GB+ cap?"
I'm curious as to where you got this information. Is this just speculation, or is there a source? I don't see how it could be anything but rumor, because there are a number of conflicting reports about the exact numbers everywhere. |
