    Thumbs down Xfinity Launches Data Cap..

    Not sure if any girls here are with Xfinity, but I just saw they are launching the new data cap here in my state. My family doesn't really watch Netflix or anything, but somehow my data consumes around 800gb a month, maybe more. I don't download anything. I purely pay my comcast for upload only. They are launching a new data cap at 1tb monthly. When you cam 40 hours a week, it adds up quick. I think I'm switching providers now. Xfinity was already throttling my this month. This all makes sense now.

    I am not in a state that has a data cap (yet) but this is one reason I went with business plan. They told me I would never have a data cap (Comcast - Colorado)

    Also, side note/threadjack, I started out with a plan that was $159 per month, now down to $45 per month. I used my charms on the customer service agent (keep calling back until you get the right vibe if you have to). They are used to people being jerks and yelling at them. I made him laugh and acted like he was my new best friend, he offered me the discount without even asking- he was happy to make me happy because I made him happy. This is not the first time this has worked. I do not care how upset or frustrated you are, yelling at a customer service rep will get you no where. More bees with honey right?

    I am having such a shitty day today anyway. I woke up to my comcast shut off (i had an extension to pay it by Monday). Well I use my Clips4Sale income to pay the bill. With the whole them not paying us yet it kinda pushed that bill back. I'm having a horrible week anyway so this pushed me over the edge. I was shocked by their actions today towards us accusing us that live chat never promised such and such. Don't waste time with live chat. They are useless.

    That's fun, about 6 months ago they said our state was not subject to any caps...now the page says its already done. Oy.

    Yeah, I believe my town had a 1TB cap put into place by Comcast this spring. :/

    1TB may sound like a lot, but it adds up when you're camming & uploading videos constantly. I cam 15-20 hours a week and we're looking at 1TB usage with my video uploads. My kids don't really use the internet (Mommy is strict). My husband occasionally maybe once a month will download a video on Xbox live. We don't watch a whole lot of Netflix either. So yea, it will add up. A lot of people are turning them into the FCC for this.

    Shit that would be a week. Everything is streamed for me as we dont have to pay for TV licence is its all streaming. I dont use BBC anyway so no loss but 500gb in a few days is easy.

    Hope the consumers win on this

    My state isn't on the list but I so need to switch to a business plan. Is this why they had so many dam outages this year? I swear at one point I was having an outage like every other day. I was tempted to switch over to Verizon because it was getting so ridiclious.

    I never use more than 550 GB of data (I average 430 GB) and that's having a teenager in the house and streaming Netflix/Youtube/Amazon constantly as well as camming. I'm thankful my state isn't on this list regardless...but I'm sure eventually they'll be adding everyone.

    Why do these companies cap on Internet/streaming/etc data??? But my cellular data is unlimited?

    It's a conspiracy lol! I think they are forcing you to either buy their cable or spend more for more data.

    I sometimes feel like I need to keep xfinity on speed dial for the annoyance they give me. I stream almost everything ( rarely watch live tv), music and gaming as well of course camming uploading tons of videos, pictures and other large files. While I have a few options of internet providers. I live in an old co op which is not configured for many. Im currently not on the data cap list. But I think this will be the cherry on the top to switching. I have no problem for paying for the highest speed of internet and consistent reliability as well as great customer service (which xfinity is is not proficient in any of the above areas). However, paying more for an unlimited home/business internet option for subpar service is a no in my book.

    Just found out today we're getting this crap here. Now I have to figure out how much I've been using. They want $50 more for unlimited and fines aren't supposed to go more than $200 not sure if that's a month Plus $10 for some more data. Not really sure. I have to read into it. I really don't need a nasty $200 surprise. The way SM is going $50 is asking too much.

    I have the cap, haven't ever come close yet and I stream movies, cam a lot, 2 HD sites running plus another 4 to 7 sites depending on if it's slow and most months still have over half my data cap left. I guess if I had another full time camgirl in my house or a bunch of gamers it might be a problem but so far so good.

    I checked my data here and we have few people in house who use it for gaming streaming constantly and me with camming fulltime and we are under the cap and have been for the last few months. So i wouldnt really worry about it too much just keep an eye on it. As of right now though i think that unless they change something it should be ok. You can check your data usage in your account. Hope this helps ease some worry for the cap.

    Huh. I've had the cap, and I never knew it. I used 750GB in October while I was camming a bunch. We don't really watch a lot of Netflix, but the kids watch a ton of YouTube.

    I don't know if the usage cap counts only download or both upload and download. It would matter since camming is almost all upload.
