kudos:6 | said by sortofageek:I doubt there is much that could be said about the bandwidth limits that has not already been said and most of it has been said repeatedly. If you check the first post of this topic, you'll see I have attempted to link to the various subtopics. What I worry about, though, is that we won't learn about new calls going out, how much they were using or thought they were using when they got the call, and whether it was followed up on. If this topic is truly all that could ever be said on the topic, then nobody should ever post into it again.
But I do get value -- we all have --- of hearing about people getting "the call" and the circumstances around it. I hope they keep posting when it happens.

That, of course, would be news. It would be one of the exceptions.

I did not say it would be impossible to say something which has not already been said. Please don't read something into my words which is not there. If anyone wants to bring up something new, by all means, do so.
I am asking people to read the first post in the thread before posting, to try to determine if their new thoughts are truly new.

| Re: So, has anyone gone over the cap? I've never gotten a call, but now that I've heard that Comcast uses a rolling 30 day window, rather than a fixed 30 day, I cannot be certain that I haven't gone over. I know we've been close several months. The rolling window makes it almost impossible to figure out how much a person is using in any given 30 day period without a quite a bit of manual work. I check the bandwidth at my router because we have about 5 computers connected to the internet, and I try to check it frequently and copy the current information to clipboard. I'm OK as long as the power doesn't go out, but when the router gets rebooted it starts from 0. Sometimes I have to estimate days because of power outages, so I usually go high in my estimate, like 10 gigabytes per day. This month I'm getting really close, but it makes me wonder . . . I gotta tell you, if I ever get that call, I'm switching to business class immediately! I'm not going to chance it. I just went and checked the availability of business class at my zip code, and it is available. Having said that, I really do not understand why comcast doesn't offer a higher limit for more money. Unless their network is really that saturated. I mean, wouldn't it be to their advantage to offer users higher limits, for say $20 - $50 more per month? Heck, some people would pay that just to be safe, but never actually us it. OK, well now there I go trying to use common sense. I mean we are talking comcast here. Oh well, such is life when broadband choices are slim.

1 edit | Re: So, has anyone gone over the cap? Well that does sound pretty official. Where I heard it was a "rolling window" was in a few of the other threads within this topic "Bandwidth Limits" under the subject, "Reported warnings/disconnects for exceeding cap". Others had mentioned that a "rolling window" was being used and a few who allegedly had been contacted by the "Comcast Abuse Dept." indicated that supposedly they'd been told that by the abuse representative that it was not a fixed 30 days. If that information is wrong, I'm happy to hear that.

Do let us know if you get a nastygram
