Re: My Comcast Service was Cut Off - And Restored! I am pretty surprised that people visiting this site would be giving this guy crap for using 200GB a month. I don't think that is an out of this world type number considering how many different ways people use the Internet now.
Consider this, at the 8Mbps plan, if you used your connection full out 24/7 you could download approximately 86GB a day and approximately 2600GB a month. 200GB is using about 8% of the maximum that you could use at the speed given.
At the very least Comcast needs to come out with numbers for everyone to view and have set limits on the service that they sell. All of this hiding the numbers crap does nothing for anyone, except to let Comcast pretend to be "unlimited" every time they sign up a new subscriber.

I agree Rico..
.. Yet another calculation on usage which we've seen a million times here.. (would love to see a cap on that kinda post here) not to mention, qw is defending a story that is CLEARLY fabricated to begin with. Since he's lying and it's VERY obvious by the so-called facts he has posted, how do any of us know that if he really was cut off (the anon poster) that it was even 200gb that he was contacted over in the first place?
Don't feed the Troll.

I would agree about giving people a hard time about 200GB per month. However, it is still an unusual volume of data. I doubt that more than 20% of the people connected to the Internet are moving that much data every month. Peak usage? I can see that. But I can't imagine that there is enough stuff of interest for a constant stream at that volume.
