So if my math is correct, comcast plans on offering .000016 of their old theoretical bandwidth for the same price. (Assuming you are paying for 6 gb/second)

 

edit: Thanks Batousai831

 

(6 mb)/sec x 1 gb/ 1000 mb x (60 sec)/min x (60 min)/hr x (24 hr)/day x (30 day)/month= 15,552 gb/month

 

compare that to the new limit of 250 gb/month ==> .016 of their old theoretical bandwidth.
end edit/ correction

 

I know that the theoretical bandwidth is impossible to achieve, but it gives you an idea of how companies just change their terms of use to "improve their network for all"

To some, 250 gb might seem like a lot, it does for me right now. But what about in a year, or two?

Thank god i don't have comcast. I need to upload videos to my clans server after every competition. Thats would easily put me over 250 GB.

Since when did comcast offer 6gb/s ?
Look things up or check your post before you post.
Its 6mb/s so your math is severely wrong.

Not that i don't agree, comcast sucks hard.
