letmepost @comcast.net	Re: Comcast Bandwidth Abuse - Discuss here only WTF 40GB per month? What is this 1998? Jesus each website you go to nowadays is easily 1MB or over. My network at home has about 5+ connects connected to it often. I would easily go over that every month, doing nothing illegal or against my ISP's TOS.

:

Posting high bandwidth limits would actually increase bandwidth usage by a significant percentage of the user base. It gets translated from a limit to the perception that "I'm paying for 300GB of bandwidth /month" so that would just encourage people to download more as to not "waste" the bandwidth they are paying for.

For the costs to work out for every person transferring more than 100GB they need to have a sufficient number of users consuming less than 40GB to balance things out. (or some similar spread) Your monthly service fee actually pays for a lot less upstream bandwidth than you might expect.
