So I have a family of 3, myself my 4 year old and my wife. Now with the Data caps I have to be a stickler to bandwidth. 4 year old can't use Youtube or Netflix anymore, Wife has to watch her netflix useage.

I'm a huge gamer who does games all digital and have to plan out when I'm going to download my newest game.

I do about 250-275Gb a month with all these restrictions in place.

This is a horrible way to use the internet. How can Comcast realistically think 300 GB is enough these days?

Xbox one and PS4 games are 30-50GB each, Netflix had can be 2-4 GB per hour and with 4k streaming start to hit that could easily hit 6-10GB an hour.

If they want to punish cord cutters why are they punishing people like us that actually have a cable package? I'm more libel to cut my cable package to offset any overages I'm charged by using the internet.

I understand Comcast is not going to give up the golden goose of data caps but gees a much more realistic figure for 2014 would be around 500GB a month.

I'm in the same boat. I have the premier cable package but my wife and I still watch a lot of Netflix and do some gaming. We don't download torrents or anything like that. I checked our usage a few days ago and it was already at 278GB and the month was only half over. Right now it's OK since they're not enforcing the cap in my area but I'm worried about once they do start enforcing it.

Edit: I just checked again, we're at 323GB. I've downloaded several games on Steam this month lol.

I think you have answered your own question. The 300GB allotment that is being used in most of the "trial" areas has been determined to be the sweet spot that will net the largest profit without triggering excessive migration away from Comcast.

just to throw this out there:

there was a recent episode of the "Security Now" podcast where they interviewed a guy who runs a rural wireless ISP. according to him, HE gets metered billing on his connections to the internet, meaning however much his users use, he gets charged accordingly. so for him to be profitable, SOMEONE has to pay that cost. his view was that there are 2 ways for that to be accomplished:

-1, his users get billed the same way that he does, meaning per byte. or
-2, the companies providing the content get charged by the ISPs they wish to deliver content to. (what happened with Netflix/Comcast recently, i think is an example of that.)

so it seems to me that metered billing comes from the top down. no idea the kinds of relationships Comcast has versus this small-time guy, but i would imagine it's similar.

now we can talk all day about whether metered billing AT ALL makes sense (personally, i don't think it does.) but on a purely ISP level, it seems like they're getting charged by the amount from their upstream providers. so to me, it makes sense for them to want to recoup that cost.

that said, i do think these maximum allowances need to be updated to reflect the changing times of how people are using the internet. meaning, that they need to be higher, particularly for people with faster (100mbps+) connections.
