I am quite scared as to how this will effect me. I am on router that three computers, a Wii, and a cellphone regularly connect to.
It's forced me to stay off P2P, which fucking pisses me off.
The limit should be 310 GB at least per month. I would consider 10 GB per day to be fairly reasonable.

What pisses me off the most is that they don't give you a monitor.
You have no way to see how much you are actively downloading.
Also, to me, web content should be unlimited. Everything over HTTP or FTP should be 100% open.

Don't most routers have a counter for your uploads and downloads? I know mine does. I'm currently at 57329 MB this month, so I could live with a 250 GB cap. I don't share my connection with anybody else however and I very rarely use P2P.

I agree that if Comcast is going to limit us, then they need to have a meter we can check to know how close we are to our limit.

Yeah, the lack of a meter is my only complaint. I sometimes leave my computer running for a few days with P2P programs on, so occasionally it might be a problem.

In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
And then they came for FNJ...

Yeah, torrents aren't really an option for me anymore. Most sites ban you if your ratio gets really bad, but I'm forced to set my upload rate to zero because I can't afford to be wasting my GB on uploads.
