Re: [Caps] Comcast Business vs Residential and data usage said by Atacand :Do you think the Premium tier (27/7) is sufficient to stream a HD movie on say an Apple TV or Hi-Def TV while another user streams CD-quality music and browses the internet at high speed? Yes, even 720p higher end video streaming is more like 6 Mbps and Netflix uses nowhere near that:
Netflix streams HD content using Microsoft VC1AP encoding at a maximum bitrate of between 2600 kbit/s and 3800 kbit/s (depending on the movie).
Also, does business class traffic get some type of priority above that of residential traffic? I realize I'm connected to the same node as the residential folks (they used the existing residential drop), but my ping times are more stable, and even though there is powerboos that I was unaware of, the speeds aren't all over the place -- they seem more stable.

kudos:3 | 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. |

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.
