Re: Comcast has new Acceptable Use Policy besides the 250GB cap

Lastly, I do think it's important that Comcast make available to customers a bandwidth meter of some sort that will be the official measurement tool.
That isn't in the works. At least for now.

How does Comcast help its customers track their usage so they can avoid exceeding the limit?

There are many online tools customers can download and use to measure their consumption. Customers can find such tools by simply doing a Web search - for example, a search for "bandwidth meter" will provide some options. Customers using multiple PCs should just be aware that they will need to measure and combine their total monthly usage in order to identify the data usage for their entire account.
If you are a WINDOWS user, you can use the FREE Netlimeter 2 Monitor to do this. Put on each PC and total the numbers.

And some home routers have bandwidth monitors built in - which would be more accurate and easier to use in a multiple computer household.

IMHO..they need to put it in the works so there's an official reading that will be there to arbitrate any disputes.
