Of course I only say this due to my ISP being Comcast itself. Though I really don't torrent too much to even reach a 250gb limit, the other users in this house will add to that since I know my brother torrents and seed like crazy.

What do you guys think of this?
Sounds like Comcast is finally admitting some reality check on their network design. Now the real question is will they will down-adjust their formerly "unlimited" price structure? Will they provide a mechanism for heavier users (business class, $$/GB) to exceed that?

I'm always suspicious of Comcast because they're used to being content controllers ... if they want to stream into the future will THAT data be counted against the limit?
