Re: Comcast Xfinity for Xbox launching soon (possibly next week) said by telcodad:So, the question is - at what point is the problem where frequent Netflix users "cause congestion and impact internet performance for [Comcast's] other customers" requiring the imposition of a monthly data cap?
Is it somewhere inside the local HFC plant, or where Comcast interfaces to the public internet?
It is where the CDN dumps the Netflix traffic onto the comcast network. Like I said, easy to explain to anyone who knows how networks work.

OK, so if that is truly where Comcast's HSI data bandwidth bottleneck is, then yes, Netflix video streaming IP traffic could be a problem, while internally-sourced Comcast VoD IP traffic would be fine.
In that case, applying the 250GB/mo cap to only the non-Comcast-originated VoD IP content would make sense. |
