Re: Enforcement of the 250 GB data consumption is suspended. Whoops! I thought they had used the word "July" in that one-line notice but upon checking, was mistaken. All is well. |

kudos:2 | What is starting on August 1st is a trial of a new data usage plan in the Nashville market, with a 300GB threshold and each additional 50GB block above that costing $10 each, as was discussed in this previous thread: »New bandwidth plan in Nashville
There is an article about this trial on the Light Reading Cable site today:

Comcast will also trial, in some other market, a tier-varying usage plan that has increasing data caps for different HSI tiers. |

I can tolerate this some what but 300 is still not enough, it should be 500. |

Yes, agreed.
It will be interesting to see what Comcast sets the progressive data allowances at for the tier-varying usage plan. I'm figuring that the (recently upgraded in NE US) Blast tier (50/10) will be given at least a 500GB allowance. |

True. The caps exists because ISPs don't want to invest in their infrastructure to prevent last mile saturation. The practice of over-subbing nodes is not sustainable. |
