300 GB is more than Comcast's cap, and 18/2 is decent speed. Below that, caps are rather meh, but the overage prices, 50 cents per GB, are better than a buck per gig, and better than being cut off. Wonder iif business plans are uncapped...

I am at the end of third month of self-metering, and run just around 40GB. I'd be curious what people are doing who routinely break though 100.

Sharing Family videos. Dvd camcorders / HD camcorders for instance are no small format is one legitimate usage. Also, another is beta testing software. 1 Distro of Fedora Core 9 dvd = 3.4GB. That in itself would set you over the 3GB a day cap!! So on so forth.

For me it's working from home, watching live HD streaming and online backup.

I would get a business account but they're capped at 60GB instead of 100GB like my residential account.

Ok, I get it now. The HD streaming is far more than the few low-res videos I've downloaded, and I understand the need for frequent Linux Distros. Thanks for the note.
