Re: [Caps] Comcast Business vs Residential and data usage

Do you think 1TB of usage is excessive for the 27/7 plan?

I wouldn't personally feel comfortable doing 2TB month after month on a 27/7 plan, but then again I rarely exceed 200G/mo.

There is a 'soft cap' from what I have heard from others in here.

I *do* use P2P (that's my business) over OpenVPN, but with that I don't think they can see the type/protocol I am using.

What business class internet plan are you on?

That depends on whom you consider to be "they". If "they" are Comcast, then as long as "they" don't get calls/letters from third parties complaining about your activity, "they" could care less what protocols you use, or the content of any file transfers that you do.

Greg,

Do you find that this speed suits your needs? It's the same one I have.

I'd love to upgrade to the 50/10, but it just costs too much.

Ah, the wonder of semantics.

Now that you mention it, I suppose P2P and streaming in my house are my "business" and no, I wasn't be rude to tell you to mind your own.

27mbit down (closer to 30Mbit provisioned) is 8.34TB/month full out. 1-2TB is 12-25% of total. I would think you'd be ok. Worse case, you'd need to bump up to the next tier.
