Comcast has a unique policy of terminating broadband customers who use excessive bandwidth, however the true definition of that term is yet not known.

Rumors were spread in Comcast that it has levied a 250GB per month cap on downloads. The firm has also changed their network management to reflect the new policy. The 250 GB is the sum of both upload and download for the total limit. If a user exceeds this cap, on a first offense, a warning email is sent or phone call will be issued with information on how to check bandwidth usage by suggesting software monitoring programs or any other kind of help. On the second mistake, the user service would be terminated for one year.
