Title: Well. I went over the 250gig cap
Post by: Czar on September 02, 2010, 03:55:49 PM

Do they send me a paper letter or email spanking me? And is there a charge or just "don't do it again" warning?

Well, they "say" they'll contact the offending user and after the warning the usage usually drops. Funny thing is.... after getting back ON cable, my first month definitely went over by.... a lot, and.... I got nothing. No contact, no email through Comcast's in-house email page. I dunno.

Just checked... I don't even SEE my account usage bar anymore. It's even the 2nd of the month, meaning that it should've reset yesterday, but it's not there. I've checked the home, account&bill, users & settings and internet tabs and it's not showing up. Does that mean I defy the laws of the interwebs?

..... wait, do you even WANT to get spanked by Comcast? Why would you want that? Well, unless there's some cute intern working at a local office, then maybe.....

i thought I read that they really only go after repeat offenders and hitting the 250GB mark once isn't enough for them to send you a warning...

that and they could start throttling you if your are using more than your fair share in a particularly bandwidth strapped area or during a heavy usage time such as the early evening hours.

I read that today. Too funny.

Because chasing the music "pirates" was SUCH a successful undertaking.

i'm willing to bet that they will have an even higher "settle out of court" rate... as the targets will try to hide the porn they are downloading from getting out.

I don't even see how that would work since there are so many free to watch sites, and with so many apps that allow you to copy flash video from websites there's no telling where the videos even came from to begin with.
