i just noticed comcast has bandwidth usage limits . i didnt notice before..i think i have at least 895GB for this month out of 1000GB. -i have to be cautious or else, if go over allotment, they'll charge 10.00 everytime. gone are the days when this sort of thing never worried about..my isp is a huge corporation like star wars deathstar. beware! does anyone else isp have bandwidth usage limits?

Do you stream a lot of movies? I don't know our bandwidth limit but my husband said that we were at half last month and we just got Netflix/Roku so we've been streaming a lot of movies and tv series. Is it costly to bump yourself up to the next level?

I use under 200 GB per month. What do you use ?

Can't say I've noticed any restrictions, as far as I know I've got unlimited data allowance although in fairness I think most ISPs have some kind of restriction to rein in the really heavy users. The kind of people who are relentlessly uploading or downloading do have a tendency to hog resources that slow it down for everyone else. 895GB does seem like a lot of data but I don't think I've ever monitored just how much data it does use to stream Netflix or similar.

I had a friend in England who had a budget internet access package and I think his data allowance was 60GB per month. I don't think he ever went much over 10GB. He didn't use Netflix.

my service plan includes 1024GB once a month. thats enough. last month i used up 985GB of data on pc only...thats why, when i wanna watch youtube ill do it on tablet. on pc, i do use xion media player and sometimes listen to iheart through edge browser..i found out using spotify app uses from 800MB to 1GB of data.. and even though i tried that youtube trick of wrapping modem and router with aluminum foil, that doesnt work very well lol lol

I don't have to worry about bandwidth usage limitations with my broadband plan. I have unlimited, meaning I can stream, watch and browse as much as I want without paying extra. I wouldn't want to be restricted otherwise I'd worry that I may run out halfway through the month.
