Comcast sets 250GB ceiling

[Doward]

I still find it hard to believe if you are just using the internet you could ever hit that cap. I havent even downloaded 100gb off of bit torrent in 2 years. I haev FIOS anyway. It runs a lot better and is more reliable. I was constantly getting disconnected with comcast, almost every sunday night for an hour or 2, and for 15-20 seconds at random times all through the day. Just enough to kick you off AIM or ruin a game of starcraft

In the last year, I've downloaded ~2Tb of bandwidth. That's about 160GB/month. 250GB is a HUGE amount of bandwidth in a month.

hell let me put it this way.

Even in my best days of playing online games for 8 hours straight (Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, The new stuff etc) I never once past 50 GB/ month.

250 GB? Seriously?
