Comcast usually limits the upstream to less than 1 Mbps. It is the upstream that's the problem as their HFC cable plant has only 30 Mbps to share among all the homes within the same coax run (for DOCSIS 2.0). There's lots of downstream available.
Bottom line, 250 GB per month is the same as a 750 kbps constant stream 24/7. This is basically the limit of the upstream for each home.
