Comcast's 105MBit Service Comes With Data Cap

Posted by timothy on from the so-best-pace-yourself dept.

itwbennett writes "Comcast just announced the ultrafast, ultra-broadband 'Extreme 105' 105 Mbit/sec Internet service for an introductory price of $105, when bundled with other services. That's the good news. The bad news: Comcast 'put a data cap on the service of 250 GB per month — about five hours worth of full-bandwidth use,' writes blogger Kevin Fogarty."

    No reasonable way to use 250gb a month? Really?

    Streaming HD is around 2gb/hr. Watch two movies per day (simple in a household) and you're looking at around 250gb.

    Just because you and your grandmother only use it for email and printing out coffee cake recipes doesn't mean the rest of us do.
