| Would I get the call If... I was just wondering, and I don't know if theres a way anyone on here could know really, but if I went over a months usage and my usage for a certain month was like 259 gb..do you think I'd get the call? |

I hit 25_ GB the past few months, after doing >500 and >300 and got nothing 
Switching to business class anyways, then I can just plow over and hit the 700s! |

500GB here I come!  Does anybody know what the record is for most consecutive months going over the cap? It'll be 11 months(since DOC SIS 3.0) after August for me. And considering over 90% of it is upload probably makes it more impressive. Anybody can download 500GB.

Oh I can't wait for him to get his disconnect notice, i'm sorry but who broadcasts that they're dbl the cap. I don't know maybe Chris or George might see this and give him a lump of coal in an early xmas stocking |

seems to me enforcement is dynamic. in the burbs it took someone moving 1TB a month for three months to even get a warning. but they drop the banhammer on someone in the city for one month of doing 500gb.
my guess is the system or the watchers does it based on node. if your node has minimal traffic other than you, odds are they wont care. if they get constant service calls about speed from your node my guess is they will review usage.

How would they even track me down? BBR won't give them my IP address. Will they? They could read my posts and narrow my location down based on location details I've left.

said by Kearnstd:seems to me enforcement is dynamic. Comcast has already said that it is, and that you have to exceed the 250GB cap AND be one of the heaviest users on their network. I would assume that provides some flexibility and discretion. |

I can't tell you, I guess you will have to figure that one out yourself. In no way do I personally care if you use 500gb a month, I just don't think people should be broadcasting it all over the place. |

Now what about if you already got the call, were under 250gb for 3-4months, then did ~265gb?
Thoughts? |

That's partially why do it. To mock the paranoia around here. Is there a documented case of someone here posting about doing something illegal in regards to their ISP or cable company or like in my case, violating the TOS, and getting caught?
Also, since the first time is only a warning, there's nothing to worry about until that happens since it is only a warning. But nate1234's question does worry me.

However if you own multiple computers you will need to measure at the router with something like DD-WRT or one of the others unless your router has a meter built in.
Some areas also have a meter on your Primary Comcast.net Login.
