Hmmm...this is a problem....and in the middle of the pandemic when people are at home...fuck you comcast
Comcast to enforce 1.2TB data cap nationwide in early 2021
- Thread starter Maxxam
- Start date
Right! They ain't paying attention to my shit at all right nowThe same one that you're gonna eventually get....
.
They send me a notice and charge me $10 for going over and $10 for every 50gigs you go over after that
im so glad i got google fiber. i average around 12 tb a month on my own. nevermind anyone else in my house who might be using my wifi
Spectrum. Don't do this ever.
because of this thread i called
got the unlimited
but she had to put it thru
would not let me do it online
Comcast can t keep up
Damn. We've got the exact same service and I've never even gotten a warning. Maybe it's more strict in higher populated areas.
The man likes big butts
Damn i average about 4500 gb a month
I dont know shit about data.. So bare with me..
Is 4500gb alot or is it about average??
Average...very average..brah
That's 4.5TB. Definitely higher than average. I think the highest I've ever gotten to was about 2.5TB
I hope you're right but they have too much of a strangle hold on communities.
Google Fiber put no dent in their behavior in Atlanta nor has ATT.
I hate Comcast.
Thanks bruh..
Is 2.5tb usage, just from wifi and internet?? Or do you run a home business??
They do have a stranglehold on a lot of places. Sometimes they are the only show in town. They are terrible.
Most providers have caps though....AT&T fiber doesn't but that shit ain't available everywhere.
It's a conspiracy because if they can't provide tv service they gone make sure that streaming has limits or additional costs
Both. I run my business from home, but with kids, smart devices, etc. it's very easy to go over the cap
Gotcha, thanks for sharing that with me..
Not exactly true... everywhere google Fiber showed up, the big players all started boosting their speeds and offering gigabit. It was like magic
. In some areas, ATT even matched the $70 price. Gigabit speeds in most areas only became normal AFTER Fiber began its rollout
You're right about that.Not exactly true... everywhere google Fiber showed up, the big players all started boosting their speeds and offering gigabit. It was like magic
My speeds increased but Google Fibers footprint is like a toddlers in metro Atlanta.
Yeah, the average consumer doesn't even come close to the cap.
We download a lot more than the average consumer, so it's different for us.
I'm a data hoarder, or at least became one in the process. As I said, I found things to update or install. I already had an unraid server where I had years of media and files I had downloaded, so I decided to update and revamp my archive. If I had SD versions, I found HD or UHD versions, completed seasons, downloaded complete collections, and such. Comcast also counts upload in the bandwidth total so it really wasn't hard.
I'm on Google Fiber now, and there are still occasions when I can get it that high, but with Comcast I made it a point to work the shit out of their network to recoup the $120 I was paying. I'm sure they were glad to see me go.
they (Comcast)signed franchise agreements with cities and a LOT of small towns that only allowed them to be the internet provider.. In exchange they would give fiber networks and TV services to the cities literally at cost. Those agreement lasted to 20 years plus in most cases.
They made is nearly impossible for anyone else to provide services. A lot of those agreements are finally expiring which is why you are slowly seeing people like ATT build their own fiber networks.

yeah the average household only uses about 250GB of data. In the previous 12 months the most I've used is 700gb.
Would love to ditch Comcast, but the only competition is AT&T and they're just as bad.
Their technology is fine. and they are still to this day finding new ways to get more speed out of coax, beyond gigabit. As the article says, it's about getting extra profits from power users.
Cox headquarters is in Atlanta yet Cox cable isn't a major player in Atlanta.
ATTs gigabit plan is unlimited and is constantly available for $50/month... At least in my area. I've had my mom on it for 3 years so far... I threaten to move to Comcast every time the promo is about to end and they give me another year at $50. Includes HBO max for free too.
The gigabit is symmetrical too,unlike Comcast
Mine has been $80. No caps.
I might pull the trick to get it down to $50.
I left Comcast 3/4 years ago, and it was simple. Can they give me gig service for $80 or at least a faster tier. They refused, I left.
Fuck Comcast/Xfinity
