Re: Arguments FOR the 250G Cap - for IPPlanMan and Werner
said by IPPlanMan  :I have yet to hear one problem that the cap truly addresses. OK, you have now heard at least one problem the cap addresses and we're branching into the redundancies once again. Your subthread is also now a link in the first post of this topic.
Let's give it a rest before it gets ugly. Please realize your positions and Werner's (or Sturm's or whoever) have been heard and re-heard. Lets let it stand on record now and it's OK for this topic to go silent if there isn't anything new to report. It really is.

Re: Bandwidth Limits/Congestion Management - All discussion here
One could correlate this entire thread to the topic at hand in that sortofageek has officially "capped" the "bandwidth" of this tired, downtrodden, dead-horse discussion.. 
Perhaps exhibiting a bit o' "monopolistic" action..

When do I get the call or will I?
No I didn't get banned, but I wondering if I will…
I transfered at least 3.5TB of data 2 months ago and at least 3TB last month. I didn't get a call or anything… should I expect one? Or do they send an email or letter? Or will they just cut off my service? |

Well - considering that you're violating your agreed upon TOS by 1100% (is that right??? - wow) - I'd say to expect something along those lines.. though - as other's have posted here - unless you're in the top percentile of usage - you'll fly under the radar. I can't imagine though that there are others in your region/area exceeding your usage.. but hey.. ya never know..
Wow - 3.5 TB? what the heck are you transferring? |

If you're on the normal 12\2 line, you averaged 73% usage (upload & download combined) over the entire month. Some 100mBit servers don't do that much in a month (I know mine didn't in October!). |

Anyways I took the initiative and signed up myself for Comcast Business. 22/5 is what I got. I can't understand the $250 set up fee though. |

WOW...even though I have Residential Extreme 50, I feel much better now about running into any cap issues if you can grab that much without a call. I live in a frat with 16 guys using the line, and we certainly pass 250GB within a month FOR SURE. But the Bay Area has high speed everywhere, so even with caps I doubt bandwidth issues are a major problem here. |

Again, I just signed up for business, so I hope I should never get a call.

No that's at home at my parent's place. I still manage and take care of it, but I don't actually get to use it. I love my parents; they always wonder why everyone's Internet is slower than their "free" service; they're not very computer savvy; never know that I have them strung with the fast broadband available. |

250GB/16 = 15.625 GB per person per month (uploads/downloads combined)
No surprise there....

Business service isn't unlimited -- it's more than the 250GB cap, but if you're using more than 1-1.5TB on a regular basis you can probably expect a call from your rep looking to move you to a non-DOCSIS connection. |
