Comcast's d/l Cap

[archcommus]

How do you guys calculate your totals, just by adding up what you've downloaded? How can you calculate what you use by browsing?

He means total monthly bandwidth.

I've used Comcast 3MB HSI for 6 months. Have d/led AND u/led GBs and GBs of video, photos, programs. AFAIK, there's no cap.

There's no cap for sure.

HOWEVER, it has been said that the abusers that stand out do get C&DCA letters. Usually the trigger is a few 100GB a month.

Investing in CMCSA has its benefits.

It's under the "networking" tab.

Once there, select View and then select columns... THe ones selected in the picture relate to your question.

When you signed up for Comcast, you agreed to their Terms of Use, including the Accepted Use Policy.

However, judging from the hundreds of posters on that site who have gotten that letter, you have to be well over 100 GB's in one month.

Interesting, thanks.

What's the difference between "bytes sent/received" and "bytes sent/received per interval"? When are these figures beginning?

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

without the "per interval" is just the total since the program was launched ( be it 30 days or 2 minutes)

with the "per interval" would be how many KB\sec (or similar unit) you're downloading\uploading.

The logging doesn't begin until the program is launched though.

I used bandwidth monitor pro to monitor my monthly bandwidth usages: http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/ I average around 20-30GB a month.

You might also try AnalogX's Net State Live

I've used it before and like it quite a bit

DSL?

DSL speeds suck.

Maybe in your area, it's different for different people. I know my 6000/608 DSL is faster then most cable out there. Hell even if it WAS a bit slower for me, I'd prob still take DSL, I refuse to give Comcast a cent of my money, Dish and DSL for me.

Netpersec is a good viewer if you can find it any more.
