Comcast Bandwidth Limit Residential Customers ?

Comcast is testing a new approach to network management: protocol agnostic bandwidth throttling.
Rather than limiting the bandwidth avaiable to, say, all Bit Torrent users when network traffic is heavy,
the company will target the individuals hogging the pipes. By measuring aggregate bandwidth consumption.
Comcast can identify the heaviest users. During times of network congestion. These folks will experience
a delay in their data requests until overall traffic has lessened. Comcast began testing its new system in june
in th Chambersburg, PA, and Warrenton, VA, markets. If all goes well, the company plans to fully rollout
its new bandwidth management scheme by the end of the year. The cap, which will go into effect as of October 1, 2008.
Comcast has confirmed that all residential customers will be subject to a 250 gigabyte per month data limit starting October 1. 2008

Comcast Terms Use

We've listened to feedback from our customers who asked that we provide
a specific threshold for data usage and this would help them understand
the amount of usage that would qualify as excessive. Today, we're announcing
that beginning on October 1, 2008, we will amend our Acceptable Use Policy
(AUP) available at comcast.net/terms/use/ and establish a specific
monthly data usage threshold of 250 GB/month per account for all residential customers.
250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of data, much more than a typical
residential customer uses on a monthly basis. Currently, the median monthly data usage by
our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB. To put 250 GB of
monthly usage in perspective, a customer would have to do any one of the following:

Send 50 million emails (at 0.05 KB/email)
Download 62,500 songs (at 4 MB/song)
Download 125 standard-definition movies (at 2 GB/movie)
Upload 25,000 hi-resolution digital photos (at 10 MB/photo)

This is the same system we have in place today. The only difference is that
we will now provide a limit by which a customer may be contacted. As part
of our pre-existing policy, we will continue to contact the top users of
our high-speed Internet service and ask them to curb their usage. If a
customer uses more than 250 GB and is one of the top users of our service,
he or she may be contacted by Comcast to notify them of excessive use. At
that time, we'll tell them exactly how much data per month they had used.
We know from experience the vast majority of customers we ask
to curb usage do so voluntarily.
