| Just got done with a chat with Comcast. Rep says they expect it in Q3 of this year. 
Problem : Does Comcast offer a bandwidth meter yet?
XPKRANGER > Does Comcast offer a bandwidth meter yet?
COMCAST > Hello XPKRANGER_, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Jose. Please give me one moment to review your information.
COMCAST > I am now checking your information. How are you doing today?
XPKRANGER > fine, thx.
COMCAST > I'm glad to hear that.
COMCAST > You're welcome!
COMCAST > What do you exactly mean by "bandwidth meter", XPKRANGER?
XPKRANGER > I need a way to measure the total consumption of bandwidth from my household over the comcast connection. not just a single pc. I know there are many tools that work fine on a per-machine basis. I need the toal for my account.
COMCAST > I see. Thanks for clarifying that up. Sure, you can simply click or keep this link for future reference : »The Best Bandwidth Meters For Comcast Customers
XPKRANGER > Yeah, just got done with that thread. there's no definitive meter in there unless I want to get a linksys router and install 3rd party firmware.
XPKRANGER > Comcast doesn't have a place where I can just see my total usage?
COMCAST > Let me go ahead and check that for you.
COMCAST > >>
COMCAST > Thank you for patiently waiting.
XPKRANGER > 
COMCAST > You can try to check that on your comcast.net account.
COMCAST > You sign-in and once you're there you click on MY ACCOUNT and there will be an option there to check that.
COMCAST > Click on the "meter in action" link.
XPKRANGER > searching for meter in action on that page but don't see it. let me double check.
COMCAST > Okay, thanks. Let me step away from this computer as well so that I can have this confirmed.
XPKRANGER > 10-4. It's not on my 'My Account' page.
COMCAST > XPKRANGER, I have just confirmed this information here and we don't have that information stored/ programmed yet with your account. However, let me give this site to you for now. This is affilliated with us and we are assuring you on this for accurate information : »www.softpedia.com/get/Network-To···th-Tools
COMCAST > The official Comcast's bandwidth meter is still under construction as per Comcast Team.
XPKRANGER > You don't have it stored yet. does that mean there are plans to offer it in the future?
COMCAST > Yes, definitely there are plans of having it for you.
XPKRANGER > Any ballpark dates in mind?
COMCAST > It was mentioned that it will be sometime on the 3rd quarter of this month, but that's just a word of mouth. However, I'm crossing my fingers for that.
XPKRANGER > Q3 of this year, not this month right?
COMCAST > Not yet, XPKRANGER.
XPKRANGER > not yet? Just trying make sure you meant year, not month.
COMCAST > Oh, I'm sorry about that. Thanks for correcting me.
XPKRANGER > Cool, ok. well that's what I needed to know. I'll keep my eye out for it. thx!
COMCAST > You're welcome. I hope my answer to your question resolves your issue.
