Or at least choke you way way down. But even more important than the "cut off at cutoff point" solution is the "let me know my usage" solution. They couldn't (or wouldn't) tell him anything about the shape of his bandwidth usage, or how much he was actually consuming, and there is no way (!) to find out how much has been consumed "so far this month". Even if that way to check was to phone Comcast, but especially if there were a website you could go to, I think Comcast would have a much better case here.
- mikeash 15y agoI've used 40GB so far this month. Last month, my usage was 117GB. This is all pretty easy to view on comcast.com.
- blacksmith_tb 15y agoI actually went well over the cap last month, 315GB according to both Comcast's metering and Tomato on my router (I'd rebuilt the server that runs my Tor relay, but hadn't cranked the bandwidth settings back down, and it ran for a while flat-out). I was sweating bullets, but they never said a thing to me. Most months I do get into the 200GB range, so it doesn't take much to get close to the cap.
