Re: Comcast usage "Abuse"? There were some reports earlier in the thread of people @ 80GB getting the notice. We just don't know! And is it per calender month? Per 30 days? Is it on a daily basis (ie, I only download 35 gigs in a month, but I do 15 of them in one day, which, on a monthly basis is 450GB which WOULD be over the invisable cap)...It's impossible to be able to manage your bandwidth while still maximizing your legal downloading when you don't know the cap! |

You are either downloading only 35GBytes in a month, or you are downloading 450GBytes in a month. Which is it?

| I have done and am doing neither. I'm just a customer who wants to download a lot and not get noticed. But that's a legit question. 15 a day is 450 a month. But if you don't do 15 every day then it doesn't amount to 450. So if you do under 100 but top 15 in a day, does that set the trigger off since it's above the cap on a prorated? |

No, there isn't, and if anyone said they did, they're a liar, plain and simple. People use to get warnings for 100 GB many years back shortly after Comcast purchased ATTBI. |

Daily amounts don't matter, it's based off end of the month data. |

That is to say, someone with 100GB DL and 2 GB UL is viewed the same as someone with 52 down and 50 up as far as the "invisable cap" is concerned? |

It's viewed as, how it degrades the network to others in your area. |

| Well you've stated many times that one runs a risk being over 200GB. Is that 200GB total or 200GB DL? What does one "run a risk" @ in UL #s alone? |

15GBytes per day just once every month, or so, shouldn't trip any wires. |
