I also have comcast. One bay I went from 8mbs download on giganews to
728k. I have tried different ports everything. Well I guess the
downloading of the past is over. Big brother is now going to watch
every bit the you get.

I'm also on Comcast and I get 20-30 Mbps on a regular basis. For me,
the key is to open multiple concurrent connections.

Sounds like you have come close to the limit of 250 gig per month.

I don't follow. Slower speeds are not a symptom of approaching the 250
GB soft cap.

Per Comcast that is exactly what they will do, they will slow you down
the closer you get to their cap and then at the cap stop you. This is
to help people see that they are approaching the cap. I would call
Comcast and ask what is going on, all they can do is refuse to tell
you.
