Re: I plan on using it. :) said by utahluge: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! It is NOT a cap, it's a threshold.
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. |
