Just to add, according to Comcast themselves, the median monthly usage is only 10 to 12 GB per month.  We still have a ways to go before the average person is hitting the new cap of 300 GB

Do you have a link for this?  On the Comcast site they use GB (gigbytes) and not Gb (gigabits). 

Yep people agreeing to get screwed by comcasts horrible speeds and monopoly. I love you people that come in and defend this corporate joke of a company. They are the worst at bundle mashing and then raising you to high heaven while telling you, you get the deal for a year and then it turns out they only gave it to you for 3 months. All of my friends, including me have had major issues with coNcast.

So Direct TV for tv.
Cell phone, no home
Comcast only for internet because they own my area. So yes there needs to be competition.

No, but when I considered switching to them, they said "gigabits" when I asked them for the bandwidth cap.

I wish I could get a cap that large where I live...

Probably just sales-rep error.

I asked for her to repeat. And besides, in the lands of sales-rep error, where the sales-rep is ignorant and doesn't know what they're selling, not a single rep in the world would even know what a gigaBIT is, nor would they ever accidentally say "bit" instead of "byte".

And 250GB of data usage of an epic shitton of bandwidth usage. I wouldn't complain about the cap if it's really 300 gigabytes. I've downloaded the entirety of three different TV shows (MASH, Supernatural, X-Files) in the same month before (which is a TON of downloading!) and still didn't hit 200GB for the entire month, with my wife regularly watching Netflix and both of us frequently using the Internet in general.

That's why you bitch about their service and since they're pushovers, you get to keep that introductory rate. My brother has been paying 30/month for internet comparable to mine for about a year.

But for gamers this is going to become a problem soon, as more and more people download 32GB sized games to play on their console. Then watch netflix streeming, hulu +. As 4K tvs come into the market and drop in price, the quality of streaming will need to get better thus taking more and more bandwidth.  Before you know it 250GB will beconsidered small.

Kind of like Bill Gates once said, "No one will need more than 637 kb of memory for a personal computer."

Yeah but that was going by amount of time spent online, not how much data you actually used / transferred.  They used to charge either hourly fees, daily, monthly or unlimited.  It was like back when cell phones first started going mainstream and you were actually capped by minutes.

Of course back in the day anyone with a dial-up modem was lucky to top 1GB of montly data usage lol.  That's like 250 songs a month on a 56k modem haha.
