Comcast has had a 250GB a month cap with a 150GB lower limit (meaning they drop your speed if you hit it) for years now. We've never hit it. Not even close. My brother and I do about 10 hours of gaming a week each (not much, but it can add up pretty quick), my dad is always watching things on Netflix, I am an addict, my sister doesn't understand internet radio and instead watches YouTube Harry Potter fan music videos for 6 hours a day (longer on weekends), and that doesn't even take media downloading (mostly through iTunes now, but there used to be quite a bit of not-so-legal acquisitions as well) into account. We've never passed the 100GB mark in a month before. Their cap is more to stifle heavy torrenters than anything. You'll never come close unless you hit TPB hard on a daily basis.

That said, I had a 5GB per week cap at school for a semester. Now that one... that one I went over quite a few times. And I wasn't downloading anything. lol

EDIT: Good news is you can call Japan for free, dude. www.engadget.com/2011/03/14/atandt-makes-calling-japan-free-until-the-end-of-march/

Don't even talk to me about shitty internet stuff until you've lived in Canada.

Here, the lower package you have the lower your speed and lower your bandwidth.

$46.99(canadian) per month =
10 mbps download
60GB cap
$2.00/GB over the cap

And I have the third package up. >_> Best one you can get is 99.99 for 175 gb.

Good news, guys. Comcast rocked my house last night with 28mbps down, 8mbps up, and 8ms ping.

Can't touch this!
