CA3LE Posted June 15, 2004 CID Share Posted June 15, 2004 you have to be downloading a ton of stuff to reach that.... I was hooked on linux distros a few months ago... I download 3 complete distros each about 1.8gb and never heard anything from Comcast... The invisible caps you are talking about are set at about ... (This is for the Phoenix Cox system... but should be about the same throughout the industry) 256 Kbps/256 Kbps Cable - ~15-20 GB/month 3 Mbps/256 Kbps Cable - ~40-50 GB/month 4 Mbps/256 Kbps Cable - ~50-60 GB/month But if you go over that they aren't going to ban you or anything... they only have that implemented so they could add something in their TOS [terms of service] --- so they will have something in their TOS to point to for the people that suck down like hundreds of GB/month -- the people who suck up that much bandwidth but they have yet to nail them for movies or MP3s ~~~ with as much bandwidth as the give ya to play with, you could almost download that 1.8GB file once a day and still be cool. And like I said they aren't going to kill your connection ~ because it's not a cap... it is simply a suggestion. I have 4 computers in my house right now, and I would think that with all the transfer that goes on in this house I am pulling over 80-100 GB/month at least ~ nobody has talked to me.... http://www.testmy.net/forumz/viewtopic.php?p=2624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted June 16, 2004 CID Share Posted June 16, 2004 LOL, my ISP says that 30 GB a month is acceptable 10 up 20 down. In the last month i have done 70 GB up and 55 down, and haven't heard a word. Though i think i might sometime in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted June 18, 2004 CID Share Posted June 18, 2004 Chello's got those kinda limits too, except the speed is lower, and the price is higher. The caps do get enforced though, and often too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboy3003 Posted June 18, 2004 CID Share Posted June 18, 2004 well now that we've clarified that he is a fake lets just let it be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmpn4Lfe Posted June 30, 2004 CID Share Posted June 30, 2004 Comcast download is GOOD but upload sux!!! i average 29kb up max which is 2 slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted July 1, 2004 CID Share Posted July 1, 2004 I would agree with pmpn4lfe! The downloads are awesome! but the uploads are like 56k compaired to the download... Hell i get over 4000kbs down but only 250kbs up!?! what is with that... come on comcast get the act together.... make it atleast 300ish or maybe 1000kbs... that would be good! I dont think that it is unreasonable for the upload the be 1/4th of the speed of the download... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted July 1, 2004 CID Share Posted July 1, 2004 That is completely normal for cable... sad but true... maybe one day we can see the upload bar raised a bunch ~~ they have done it in the past... up from 128 Kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
