PIR rules: In Jan - on my desktop alone - Netmeter said I consumed 200Gb of bandwidth. Guess how much Comcast says I used total for all my devices.

I've been waiting for Comcast to come through with this little applet for a long time. I figure, if they can bill me for bandwidth usage, they must know how much bandwidth I consume! I run Netmeter on my desktop because I know the limit is 250Gb and so I set my alarms to 200Gb, assuming that 50Gb is enough for all my other usage.

    - 88Gb. Comcast said I used 88Gb in January. Even if they counted download only, that's still only half of what my Netmeter says. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:16 2
      - does this include TV? If not, what the hell *is* this counting? -- nm - zork Feb 12, 10:17 1
        
        IP bandwidth (so Netflix streaming, too) but regular cable doesn't factor into our internet use. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 12, 10:23
