COMCAST TO START BANDWIDTH CAPS IN OCTOBER! [+] serious ballot by Grapost ACTIVE Fri Aug 29, 08 - Sat Aug 29, 09 t's official: Comcast starts 250GB bandwidth caps October 1 By Jacqui Cheng | Published: August 28, 2008 - 04:16PM CT Comcast has announced that it will in fact be introducing bandwidth caps to all residential customers. The cap, which will go into effect as of October 1, will be 250GB per month. Comcast justifies the decision by saying that it's "an extremely large amount of data," and that a very large majority of customers will never cross it. that is already in place, except with more explicit numbers as to what is allowed and what isn't. "As part of our preexisting policy, we will continue to contact the top users of our high-speed Internet service and ask them to curb their usage," the company said in a statement sent to Ars. "If a customer uses more than 250GB and is one of the top users of our service, he or she may be contacted by Comcast to notify them of excessive use." This announcement has been widely expected since at least May of this year, after the whole brouhaha went down with P2P throttling and the FCC fallout. Comcast had originally argued that that the FCC had no authority to block Comcast's process, but ultimately decided on its own to stop interfering with P2P traffic. The company also joined in with other ISPs in trying to devise a P2P user's bill of rights and contemplated the use of P4P software. I already had my service TERMINATED by Comcast for high bandwidth usage. I changed to Verizon and they haven't bothered me so far.
