Comcast to cap monthly consumer broadband
Starting October 1, customers of Comcast's residential data services will have an invisible barrier on their monthly data usage. Under the new guidelines of Comcast's Acceptable Use Policy announced Thursday, that cap will be set at 250 gigabytes per month, per account. While that's well over the reported median usage for most residential subscribers, it could thwart customers who regularly take advantage of streaming HD video and online backup services.
