Re: Excessive use of bandwidth
said by Pashune  :When I checked my usage for yesterday earlier today, I downloaded around 1,900 mb of data. I checked it again this evening and it's at 3,589 mb. What happened? I've already exceeded the 3 gb limit 7 times this month. Similar things here. For me yesterday was 8'th time according to their records, although if I'm looking at DUMeter stats, which never lies, it's only 5-th. I think CableOne started having problems on 4-th of this month, after that their stats all messed up for me. |

| Drats, it messed up my bandwidth records again! This time it was for the 15th of this month. How it magically went from 2,450 mb to 4,668 mb is a mystery to me.

Gautier, MS | If they keep screwing up like this, I could very well reach the 15-day limit. I'm already on my way to day 11.

I know that you can push quite a lot through during their non-monitored time frames.
I'll have to take another look at my router logs but I've been averaging 150 - 200GB per month without a problem. I do most of my downloading during their non-monitoring time.
On average I exceed the 3GB daily limit about 7 times a month. |

| I can safely say we pass the 3gb limit at least 4-5 days a week, and have done so for all of this year. We have yet to have any issues beyond the fact we get dropped to standard speed most nights on our 10/1 plan, no warnings or issues with excessive use.
I also just before posting went and paid my bill and found out that they are offering the Ultra service in my area as of today. $83 for 12/1.5, 11.5gb daily threshold. I had them upgrade me, we'll see how the new threshold works out. |

I exceed the 12pm-12am 2 gb (or however much it is) threshold about 6 or 7 times per month, sometimes a few more.

Exceeding the 3GB during the monitoring period (12pm-12am) should be fine as long as you don't do it for 15 or more days in a month. |

Someone else confirmed the same thing a few weeks back. Are you going by what's in the AUP or from experience or.. from a customer rep.? 
I guess I like to be too careful. Call me paranoid?

I'm going by the AUP and my own experience. The customer services rep I talked to haven't directly said as much but I did discuss with them that I was concerned with going over the cap too many times in a month. They took a look at my account. They said that I had nothing to worry about and I wasn't even close to triggering their system. |

| And you're pulling 150-200 GB per month?
Woah, I've got nothing to worry about. I might pull 100 GB in a month at the very most.
But with my new PC being built, that might change a bit.
Either way, thanks for the reply.
