| I plan on using it. :) Well, I plan to make sure I come close to my 250 Gigs. I normally don't average that high but caps drive me nuts! Rather than averaging my lower numbers into their system, I plan on inflating my numbers to increase the average. I also encourage a lot of you to do the same thing.
1. It will bite them in the a** as all the sudden their numbers will go UP. Probably something they wouldn't expect.
2. If they keep the caps, it will most likely result in higher caps as the average will be much higher.

If you're below 250 GB, you will never be considered an excessive user. If you're above 250 GB and you're one of the heaviest users, you may receive an excessive use warning.
So all the posts about trying to hit 250 GB on the nose, or minimizing the reporting delay, are misguided. In practice, you'll almost certainly have to go far above 250 GB before you're actually considered an excessive user.
Comcast has been warning and terminating excessive users for years, this is not new. The only new thing is the 250 GB/mo threshold, below which you can be sure you're safe. It's still the case that you have no way of knowing how much you can really use before getting a warning, because it's dependent on the overall use of the network by other customers. | |
