Re: What's that cap again?

Users claim they by and large aren't enforced, though I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has experienced them.

Re: What's that cap again?

Well, here's what Xmission said about this:

But seeing as you're discussing a residential pipe that is fatter than a DS3 for about $40/mo*, I can say with some faith that any provider who intends to stay in business for more than a couple of weeks will have some bandwidth policy attached.

As a general rule, if someone breaks the 100 GB limit (a wholesale restriction, incidentally) they just upgrade to 50/50/500GB, which is only a little more for a significant boost in speed and volume. And that's usually the last we hear from them.

I think I can count on one hand the number of subscribers that break that 500 GB ceiling, and we sell additional chunks of 100 GB for $20/mo (which is essentially a pass through cost for us). Bandwidth in Utah is generally more expensive than elsewhere in the country.
