2 edits | Vague usage definitionBecause ISPs apparently have brain damage when it comes to the concept of network traffic being *bidirectional*, I'd like to know if the cap being deployed applies to upload, download, a combination of both, or each independently?
Karl Bode  , can you find this out?
The website implies it's the combination of the two, but the lack of definitive answer is unacceptable. Comcast needs to state it.
And why is this concept so hard for ISPs to understand? Co-location providers have no problem in this regard (it's in your SLA, and most of the time specifically refers to upload traffic).
Personally? I'm not too worried about the cap. My usage so far this year (March and April were busy months):
