It's official: Comcast starts 250GB bandwidth caps October 1

[indy007]

I would love a 250GB bandwidth limit!  I have a 12GB download and 3GB upload limit, and with 5-6 computers hooked up to it, we almost never exceed the limit.  People may complain a limit is bad, but 250GB is as mentioned much more than anyone will probably use in a month.  If you are using that much, lay off the Naughty sites a little .

I'd exceed your limit in a day, without downloading a single piece of pr0n. 250gb may last me a month, but I doubt it

Have a feeling this will affect a lot of small businesses and people working out of their homes.  I'm sure that's one of the groups Comcast has in their sites.  Now they can sell them their "Small Business Internet Service^TM"

How much bandwidth does an online game like Aces High use as you're playing?

I'm not sure about AH, but IIRC playing HL mods and their download was about 4-6kb/sec.  That's 300kb a minute or 17.5mb an hour.  So let's say you put in 60 hours a tour, thats about 1050mb (1.05gb) a month just in AH.

And if you flew 24/7 (30 days a month), thats 12,600mb or 12.6gb.

Well with the 240 hours one tour i logged and others using the internet, we never exceeded the limit.  So it would take a lot of just AH to exceed 12GB, now on a 250GB AH alone would never exceed it.  Add in streaming, downloading large files, and things of the sort then it's possible.
This is just my small understanding .
