Use too Much Comcast Bandwidth - Lose your Comcast Service for a Year
Here's some news that's going make some Comcast customers mad, especially those downloading heavy amounts of movies. Comcast is going to limit bandwidth and will even terminate your service for a year if you're a repeat violater. According to Yahoo.com:
Comcast said it was setting a monthly data usage threshold of 250 gigabytes per account for all residential high-speed Internet customers, or the equivalent of 50 million e-mails or 124 standard-definition movies.
"If a customer exceeds more than 250 GB and is one of the heaviest data users who consume the most data on our high-speed Internet service, he or she may receive a call from Comcast's Customer Security Assurance (CSA) group to notify them of excessive use," according to the company's updated Frequently Asked Questions on Excessive Use.
Customers who top 250 GB in a month twice in a six-month timeframe could have service terminated for a year.
Comcast is the bad guy at the moment but we're pretty sure all the other cable companies will follow suit soon.
