comparison time.... and the bitching

We will see how nice they play once and close they are, say, to DD-WRT or Tomato bandwidth tracking. Hope that it is just about dead even. I can see people about to bitch and complain that what they get doesn't add up to Comcast's numbers.

I'm currently tracking my usage through my IPCop firewall. I'm very interested to see how my numbers look compared to Comcast's.

This question has not been asked !
Do these ISP meter your network overhead or what you actually download ?

overhead is about 15 % more than what you actually download ?

I don't know, but my company's 4 to 5 TB usage might be a problem given the low 250 MB cap. I wonder if this will affect business users or not.

does DD-WRT see ARP traffic?

Comcast may count that and other traffic that does not go past the cable modem.

I imagine they're doing it from you're side of the cable modem simply because they can, it's likely the easiest way, and it would be asking for trouble if they didn't.
