Comcast Limits Bandwith to 250GB/month

Tweet

I was really upset when I found that Comcast (internet provider) started limiting all users to 250GB of bandwidth (both up and down combined) per month. If one is to go over that amount there is a warning. If one goes over that amount again the service is automatically terminated. Now I agree that 250GB (2500MB) sounds like a lot of traffic and it is until one considers that I have two laptops, one main computer, three TVs hooked up to internet services (HULU, Netflix, ROKU, and streaming NBC, CBS, FOX, etc....). On top of that I have been considering adding home phone service with a service like MagicJack. One can purchase games online from Amazon and Direct2Drive to name two that allow you to purchase a game and download it directly instead of waiting for it to be delivered. This all takes up a monster amount of bandwidth. As an example, if all I did was watch movies and did nothing else on the internet, 2 HD movies a day for a month would push me to the 250GB limit. My internet provider (Comcast) does not offer me to purchase any additional bandwidth. It's either don't go over or get shut off. What do you feel about this and do you have any solutions to the problem that I am having. Thanks Zelo
