[Caps] Meter not working agian

My usage meter ha been stuck on "6GB" used for the past 8 days from the 1st of this month up it has said that and I know I downloaded 60 GB of files off of MSDN this past week 10 of which were yesterday and at least 20 of 4 days ago... Last month I saw something similar only to have it register at the end of the month as 275GB used...

anyone else seeing problems with the meter again?

Mine was gone until yesterday, but returned today and about seems correct for this day of the month,
The 8th was my original billing date, not sure if they are aiming to move the meter to reflect each subs billing month, vs the calendar month OR if it was some other glitch

The meter vanishes around the billing date and then comes back.

Yes, but for a year or so here it's been an hour or 2 before it comes back.
another possibility is CC seems to be changing a lot of internals to v6 preferred and reached the meter or whatever in the last month in my area and may be the OP's
even similar issues this far apart can have different causes

ooooo today it's at 11GB

I swear it's just adding 1GB per day to the counter just to look like it's doing something

mine says im already at 270 GB for this month. In Charleston, SC we have a 300 gb cap for all speed tiers. makes no sense that i have same cap on the extreme tier as someone on performance, but either way, I don't know how I could possibly be even close to that number when my internet has barely been working this month with all the packet loss im experiencing. I don't get it.

My number for last month it claims is 275GB, which is funny because an add-on I have on my pfSense router claims I did a whole 105GB...

Perhaps Comcast is using a variation of the ancient retailer's "you break it , you bought it" policy? Since you are losing the packets, you bought them.

Ahh, but from the seller's point of view, those packets would have been safely locked away in a display case had you not been examining the merchandise.

LMAO.. Good point. Well Netcool is helping me get the issue fixed and I am in touch with maintenance over where I live now, so hopefully I won't have to deal with it anymore soon.

welp something is definitely off, it's literally going up 1GB per day now again... I saw someone else earlier saying their meter was using 1GB a day with no use recently, wonder if these are tied.... I'm seeing 1GB of usage per day on the meter no mater how much bandwidth I use...

Still going up 1GB per day no matter how much I download... very odd
