| Another "abuser" of Comcast bandwidth It's not only Peer to Peer and Bit Torrent users who are plagued by this problem. After my third month with Comcast I got a call that my use was excessive. I inquired how much I had used (he couldn't or wouldn't tell me) and what I could do to make sure I was within limits. There were no helpful suggestions, but I was able to figure that being on an online gaming site 12 or more hours a day, although not playing that whole time, and my daughter watching several videos a week from Netflix was the problem. Apparently the gaming site was transferring an unusually large number of packets and combined with 3 or 4 videos (~5 gig each) a week, I went over their unlisted limit. So I went back to DSL - though it's slower, I get no complaints about the amount of use. |
