And if they get away with it, Verizon is sure to follow...

This got me curious to see just how much I use per month. In January and February I was on 10hr shifts at work and only used 12gb and 14gb respectively. Now we're back on 8hr shifts and consequently have used 31gb so far this month. All-in-all, I'm nowhere near what Comcast says is "excessive" (250gb).

An additional benefit of having left them a few weeks ago, aside from their pathetisad tech support and apparent lack of any effort to bring the faster network speeds to much of Taylors.

Mind you, I don't do that kind of traffic now, but back when I was fairly regularly streaming Netflix (cheaper to watch all of Avatar: The Last Airbender than renting the individual DVD sets from the local Blockbuster :P ) I probably did get pretty dang close to that 150GB for regular DSL.
Just some nohbody with a ThinkPad R51-1830BTU.
