RE: Comcast sets 250GB ceiling

JHoff80 29th Aug 2008

I can think of a million ways to LEGALLY max that out very easily.

I mean, I've got the MLB.tv premium package, which means I stream 1.2 Mbps streams of a few baseball games daily, plus the XBL demos that come out, Hulu streaming video, the occasional youtube clip, and Steam purchases, not to mention whatever usage my roommates use, its a little too low. Not to mention if anyone plays WoW or Second Life, two things I don't use but from what I understand, are constantly downloading new textures every time you move to a new place, you could be screwed. Or if you have Netflix streaming or even worse buy a bunch of Video Marketplace HD videos. And that's not even counting the legal uses of Torrents such as downloading Linux distributions.

I agree entirely with Mr. Shames, that if Comcast invested in their infrastructure that we wouldn't have this issue.
