Strangely, it came through a rarely checked/forwarded secondary account, but not through either of the primary account (both are enabled to receive "official" mail)
This is one of those "official" emails that ALL accounts should have received weeks ago (today is our billing date, so maybe the others are in the Que), but this is not a 'without notice' type event, the TOS/AUP change was publicly announced a month ago.
CC is behind on polite notification, even if it meets the letter of the ToS]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21179535 Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:12:53 EDT Re: Did anybody else get the new AUP in their email? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21179409 Unit649 : 9-21 6:10am.

Dear Comcast High-Speed Internet Customer,

We appreciate your business and strive to provide you with the best online experience possible. One of the ways we do this is through our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The AUP outlines acceptable use of our service as well as steps we take to protect our customers from things that can negatively impact their experience online. This policy has been in place for many years and we update it periodically to keep it current with our customers' use of our service.

On October 1, 2008, we will post an updated AUP that will go into effect at that time.

In the updated AUP, we clarify that monthly data (or bandwidth) usage of more than 250 Gigabytes (GB) is the specific threshold that defines excessive use of our service. We have an excessive use policy because a fraction of one percent of our customers use such a disproportionate amount of bandwidth every month that they may degrade the online experience of other customers.

250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of bandwidth and it's very likely that your monthly data usage doesn't even come close to that amount. In fact, the threshold is approximately 100 times greater than the typical or median residential customer usage, which is 2 to 3 GB/month. To put it in perspective, to reach 250 GB of data usage in one month a customer would have to do any one of the following:

* Send more than 50 million plain text emails (at 5 KB/email);
* Download 62,500 songs (at 4 MB/song); or
* Download 125 standard definition movies (at 2 GB/movie).

And online gamers should know that even the heaviest multi- or single-player gaming activity would not typically come close to this threshold over the course of a month.

In addition to modifying the excessive use policy, the updated AUP contains other clarifications of terms concerning reporting violations, newsgroups, and network management. To read some helpful FAQs, please visit »help.comcast.net/content/faq/Fre···sive-Use.

Thank you again for choosing Comcast as your high-speed Internet provider.

This is a service-related email. Comcast will occasionally send you service-related emails to inform you of service upgrades or new benefits to your Comcast High-Speed Internet service.
