If it's all on their system, that's great. Good work Comcast. I ran a bandwidth monitor on one of my computers and I didn't like it. It doesn't give the whole picture and I don't want to change the firmware on my router.
If they're going to have caps, I shouldn't have to worry about totaling the bandwidth used by the desktops, notebooks and appliances myself. I'm sure I'm nowhere near 100GB/month, but there could be a malfunction or misconfiguration or something that causes absurd usage that would need to be tracked down. Let alone a virus or malware of some kind.
On a side note, router manufacturers are going to have to add this feature to all new firewalls if this continues to spread through the ISPs. Maybe there should be some standard for it too. Ignore some traffic, totals in gigabytes to so many digits, etc... |
