What's Eating Your Comcast Data Cap? [telecom]

Comcast has put its proverbial finger to the wind to define an "appropriate" data cap it declares "generous," regardless of how subjectively random that cap happens to be. Although 1,000 GB - a terabyte - usage allowance represents a lot of internet traffic, more and more customers are finding they are flirting with exceeding that cap, and Comcast has never been proactive about regularly adjusting it to reflect the reality of rapidly growing internet traffic. That means customers must protect themselves by checking their usage and take steps if they are nearing the 1 TB limit.
