Re: Curiosity aroused...
The Comcast spokeswoman who refused to name a number did say that that some of those who received letters were downloading enough data for 90 full-length movies, per month.
Assuming a movie is 4 GB (someone please tell me how wrong that estimate is), 360 GB puts you in the "danger" range.
Not passing judgement but, sorry, this isn't sharing home movies. This isn't downloading Windows XP patches (or even Windows XP itself).

Full length movie size can really vary, due to compression and desired quality. 300mb-500mb is fairly typical for a divx compressed movie of reasonably good quality. High quality sometimes (rare) go up to two gigabyte.
I assume that someone who knows movie downloading is thinking around 400mb/movie times 90movies would infer approximately 36 gigabyte cap. |
