The joys of living on my own. It's my internet and I'll do what I want with it.

Other than the fact that Comcast caps your bandwidth.

Since all the cool kids are doing it.



This was done through my VNC server so the streaming data through the VNC may or may not have had an effect on the results.

I just recently dropped my PowerBOOST or whatever their bullshit service is where the first 10(?) MB of a download are at twice the normal speed. I was paying $10 a month for it and I haven't noticed the difference not having it.

Yah, I know. For the time being though, they're not enforcing the cap. Hopefully that will last as long as possible, and will result in a much higher cap than they currently have when it's reinstated.

Cap aside, comcast really had the best deal for speed in my area.

The link I provided claims that the new cap is or will be 300GB/month. It was 250GB/month

Is it only during peak hours, or for the entire month? If it's the latter, that sucks.

From what I understand it's for the month, which is pretty stupid.

That's in the area where they are testing the new caps/process of determing caps. I currently have no cap because they are not testing in my area.

And yes, it's for the month. Retarded.

On May 17, 2012, we announced the suspension of our 250 GB usage allowance and that we would launch new data usage plans. We will continue to contact the very small number of excessive users about their usage, which can be indicative of security or related issues.

So it sounds like "excessive" is a flexible adjective at the moment. It wouldn't necessarily be accurate to say that there is no cap, because if you go much over 250-300GB they will probably notice and say something if it's a continuous thing.

If they call and tell me my usage is excessive, I'll just tell them I'm drunk and they should fuck off
