I live in millville N.J Comcast has been shutting down modems and monitoring traffic constantly. if I cut my dl speed in half they leave it alone for a little while. If I do more than 3 dl at a time they bump me off. It does not matter what time of day it is. cant wait for fios

@jason
“open up p2p full throttle”

no. Well… yes.. but no.

Comcast will throttle you if you actually use “full throttle”. Their new DPI hardware will cut you down if you actually use your internet speed that you pay for.

So the way I see it, you use less than 8gb per day until you get to mid-month. Then take the remaining bandwidth and divide it again for your per-day caps (obviously leave some room to spare), and so on until the last 4-5 days when you probably can’t max out say 245gb (5gb extra should be plenty) and open up p2p full throttle when you’re not using the connection. The goal then will be to hit 230-240gb/month every single month to force them to raise the limits and increase their capacity.

Comcast and other like them (Road Runner, anyone?) should be boycotted. PERIOD. Hitting them where the bean counters live should teach them a lesson, eh?

“Users should adjust their file-transfer clients to avoid exceeding 50% of their upload tier subscription.”

So in other words, Comcast still expects people to pay for speed that they can’t use…
