| When do I get the call or will I? No I didn't get banned, but I wondering if I will…
I transfered at least 3.5TB of data 2 months ago and at least 3TB last month. I didn't get a call or anything… should I expect one? Or do they send an email or letter? Or will they just cut off my service? | |

Well - considering that you're violating your agreed upon TOS by 1100% (is that right??? - wow) - I'd say to expect something along those lines.. though - as other's have posted here - unless you're in the top percentile of usage - you'll fly under the radar. I can't imagine though that there are others in your region/area exceeding your usage.. but hey.. ya never know.. 
Wow - 3.5 TB? what the heck are you transferring? | |

I was on the 16/2 plan. Anyways I took the initiative and signed up myself for Comcast Business. 22/5 is what I got. I can't understand the $250 set up fee though. | |

No that's at home at my parent's place. I still manage and take care of it, but I don't actually get to use it. I love my parents; they always wonder why everyone's Internet is slower than their "free" service; they're not very computer savvy; never know that I have them strung with the fast broadband available. | |

There have been a few posts here where other folks have tossed around the numbers 750GB for 12/2 (starter, in docsis 3.0 land, crese24, so you'd be fine using 500GB/mo, you're 250GB under the limit) and 1.5TB for the next level up.
Edit: this is the first post where someone suggested the possible caps for business class: »Re: [Business] I signed up for comcast business
I've been a Business Starter sub for 7 months now, and my typical month is 150GB. I have some headroom  I'm not a business class user to get more, I need the statics and the right to run servers.

WOW...even though I have Residential Extreme 50, I feel much better now about running into any cap issues if you can grab that much without a call. I live in a frat with 16 guys using the line, and we certainly pass 250GB within a month FOR SURE. But the Bay Area has high speed everywhere, so even with caps I doubt bandwidth issues are a major problem here. | |

250GB/16 = 15.625 GB per person per month (uploads/downloads combined)
No surprise there....

I've surpassed the 250GB\mo cap by a minimum of 50GB for the last 7 out of 9 months... But certainly not by that much.
If you're on the normal 12\2 line, you averaged 73% usage (upload & download combined) over the entire month. Some 100mBit servers don't do that much in a month (I know mine didn't in October!). | |
