Comcast to play a 250 gig per month cap on downloads.

Seems like a lot, but I imagine some of you guys use more than that, and I imagine it won't be long before 250 gigs a month is nothing. Not to say that Comcast won't change their restrictions by then, but it's just something to keep in mind. :O

Comcast is going to hate me :(

You can hit 250GB playing WoW, to say nothing of downloading stuff.

I wasn't aware WoW was such a hog. :o

Voice streaming over Vent or something similar could be. Tack on things like Steam downloads, HD media from XBL or PSN, HD TV feeds from college websites (my campus offers free SD and HD feeds of many local programs), and this is a pretty low cap.

Hmm, now I'm curious about how much bandwidth I used when I was playing RO obsessively. I was on Vent all day and all night pretty much.

wtf. Comcast holds a monopoly over my area, well, back in Philly.

I don't even know how much I went thought a month. but still. I don't need them saying LOLNOMOREINTERNEFORYOU because of the mass online gaming that goes on in my house.

Although they never really said what would happen if it goes over. Hmmm. +_+;

If you go over twice, service can be suspended for up to one year, at which time I would personally suggest just switching services.

Wow that sucks, and comcast holds a monopoly in my area. So we'd be kinda screwed.

You guys have it easy. Most caps instituted in Canada are 40-75gb/month

I'm not really worried about it for myself, but I did think people might want to know about it. :P

[domomkasshu]

WTF!!! When did this happen?

I easily go over that every month just with updating my own server. Let alone when I play WOW and other downloading events.

I don't think it's happened yet, but the article is from 8/30.
