Thats actully for 10 computers. Reason I cant figure out wtf they are doing.
That's odd. That standard arrangement for Pro is a maximum of 5 workstations.
Correct. But since they dont do workplace in this area yet they allow to put more on the pro plan. Hence the $190/month charge for 10 computers. |

Oh, ok...
So now I wonder: is the 3gb cap actually less, if you get pro with only 5 workstations? |

I don't know if I would read that far into it. Since Workplace is not available there, this appears to be some kind of customized service.
I could understand the provision if it meant that employees could remotely access the LAN at the business (from their own home connection) via VPN through the Comcast service, with the amount of VPN traffic limited to 3 GB/month. However, a) that isn't the way the Comcast rep is interpreting it; and b) it is not clear how VPN traffic would be metered.
I wonder if Comcast would allow multiple Pro accounts at a business. Two Pro accounts would still be $190, however, there would be two sets of five on 3500/384 versus 10 on 3500/384. |

Rockville, MD | I'm pretty sure Comcast allows dual pro accounts at a residence. |
