ISP Bandwidth Limits
lothar863:
Also it is $200 USD. Business class service is more expensive. For $30 more on the residential side I got 35mbps down all of the premium movie channels and channel packages and a HD DVR and 2 phone lines. But I never watched TV So I dropped the TV and kept internet and phone lines and my bill is actually a bit lower.
They said I was in the top 1% of bandwidth usage in my town and I was impacting other users on the residential side :(
Pentium100:
300/300 with no limits other than the 300mbps.
Last month I downloaded 692GB and uploaded 25288GB, this month (since the 1st) - 141GB down, 4415GB up.
80LTL/month (= 31.64USD = 23.17EUR)

I know this may sound like a dumbass question, but why the hell doesn't or can't my ISP monitor my Bandwidth use? I mean, it's not that they "can't", but their numbers are waaaaaay the hell off and in the minus range too.
I get a service use statement on my e-bill and according to them, I'm only using 2-13 GB a month, but my BitTorrent and AnalogX Netstat Live are both telling me I'm using between 600GB-1.4TB, which I know is the real amount. I know that Comcast monitors these things pretty well, because I have two friends that got hate mail and phone calls about "Excessive usage" and one of them even had his service suspended for 4 months. What's weird about that is they have the same "soft cap" of 250GB a month as I do, but they don't use the internet nearly half as much as I do. It's also been like this for at least 2-3 years or that's when I first started noticing it. So anybody have any ideas? Before anyone asks, I'm not using a VPN or Spoofing or using any kind of warez, AFAIK that would do such a thing.

I would just be thankful
Stsin:
I currently don't have any caps. But checked out how much I was using each month:
Gah, my account would have been suspended already...getting close to 1TB per month. Only have 20Mb/s down and I wasn't even trying as you can see the on and off days. 250 gigs is way too low.
BUT my provider: Insight, has just been bought by Time Warner ($3 Billion). So I'm dreading the worst. Anyone using Road Runner? How are the caps if any and service? We already have DOCSIS, but costs twice as much for 50Mb/s down ($100). How are the prices?
