Just got a call from Comcast today telling me my internet is being permanently shut off tomorrow.

According to them my bandwidth has been 500GB/mo for the past 3-4 months and last month it was 1000GB. A couple hours ago they called me to tell me as soon as I reach 250GB bandwidth for the month I am losing internet. They setup a login for me to view my bandwidth usage for the month. It is at... 95%

I pleaded with them, offered to pay them over $2500 just to extend my internet until the end of the month (to give the kind people at Verizon 3 weeks to dig a hole in the backyard to setup Fios), yelled at them, escalated myself up the chain of command for several hours, and they will not budge.

They could have warned me 2 or 3 months ago when my bandwidth first increased, but they never once said a single thing about my bandwidth usage until todays call. If they warned me sometime before today I would've had plenty of time to cut back on usage, move Ubot programs to other locations, close RDP connections that can suck up bandwidth, etc. I shut everything off now (costing me several thousand dollars in lost profit; none of which would have been lost if they gave me even a week to move shit to other places). Even with all of that I am going to be losing internet soon (probably next couple of days) considering how close I already am to the 250GB threshold.


Comcast thinks its good business to warn people of bandwidth problems the day before they permanently get cut off.



So I just wanted to say FUCK YOU COMCAST.
 


When I've done speed tests its been around 8Mb/sec down and 1Mb/sec up although it depends on load within the neighborhood I think. I'm not going to do one now because Comcast is a group of fucking cunts and I need to conserve my bandwidth.

Get fiber. I got fiber installed 2 months ago no limits and awesome upload speed. Good for bots like Xrumer ect.
 
checkout smaller isps around your area who will give you that kind of bw, you sound like you can afford it.
 
Looks like you'll be getting a couple dedicated servers and making coffee shops with free wifi your office for a few weeks.

Comcast Sucks big time and reasons like this, along with their throttling is why I switched to Fios the day it became available.
 
It sounds silly, but you might want to try tweeting about it with @comcast and #ComcastFail in the tweet.
If they get the impression that you're publicly bitching about their company, they're likely to respond just to try to squelch the #ComcastFail tag from catching on. Sad but true.

EDIT: comcast sucks
 
When you were going over their limit and yet you agreed to pay them more money, why didn't they suggest you to get Comcast for Business ? That would have totally solved your problem...

either way, FiOS is the way to go - it's better, better and much stronger than Comcast...

aaaand comcast sucks
