You have to see Comcast's point. An 8Mb connection equates to 3.6GB per hour. Therefore, at 672GB in 30 days you were running the connection at over 25% of its absolute maximum capacity 24/7. This must be way beyond the 'normal usage' figures that Comcast use when planning their capacity (and pricing). |

This must be way beyond the 'normal usage' figures that Comcast use when planning their capacity (and pricing). If the OP was using 672 GB/mo (the amount he quoted before his later edit), he was using a 24/7 average of 2.1 Kb/s or 259 KB/s.
edit: not 294 KB/s as I posted earlier
That would burn 840 CDs or 149 DVDs a month.
And if the trigger point (aka "limit") is 600 GB, that's an average of 1.9 Kb/s or 238 KBps 24/7.

get 2 Comcast accounts and a LInksys router with 2 WANs fo load balancing. that would cut it to 300GB (in theory) for each account and still have room to get more. |

Whatever the actual number though, I think it is clear that nobody can see a plausible legal reason as to how the OP used so much bandwidth. |

This is besides the point man. FALSE Advertising!! If you aren't going to allow unlimited bandwidth usage. Do not offer/ advertise it. And you sure as hell don't write up service contracts that say "unlimited" although even if there were some fine print I am sure that an case could be made purly on the big bold "Unlimited" on all the crappy fliers that they send me. |
