Think Comcast's 250gb limit is hard to hit? was created by Nacelle
I started back up with Netflix last month and we've been watching a lot of instant streaming. I just checked my router's usage stats and was blown away. To top it off, the kids are home for the summer playing games and watching youtube and we've shut off DirecTV. Comcast isn't going to be happy.

AT&T is limiting also. We went back to RR because of it.

I blew that limit out of the water last month, to the point where I had to cut myself off

They aren't for me yet. U-Verse is still good. Plus I don't use that much data anyways. They said that most i've ever used is 150gb. I highly doubt that but whateves, if I go over a bunch i'll switch to FIOS. I really want a reason to get their fastest speed.

Here is one website.

It pisses us off because we have more than 1 person who used the net and netflix.

Comcast will rarely cal you about your limits unless you are running a seedbox or something like that. If anything they might call and ask you if you want to up to Business Class or something like that. I knew a kid in Bloomington that was doing terabytes since he used to host a ton of game servers and never got a call from them.

Arxon, what I meant was that they weren't looking at my data yet, aka tracking it. Still says on the Att page that it hasn't been setup yet.

I wouldn't think it would be normal to lose either internet or the Netflix stream. I've had no issues streaming to two devices at the same time in my house with the same account.

The private IPs will be different, of course. However, they most likely all go through a single public IP that is assigned to your modem by your ISP. Home routers use network address translation to have all the private IPs on your home network go through the single public address, since private IP addresses (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x, etc) can't be routed on the Internet.

Just wait until more things go to IPv6, the addresses are crazy-looking:

He was replying to my question. We have had similar problems when our router gave out an ip to a device that we typicly don't use and have set a manual ip on another device to the same address, killing the internet. We have had this at our lans multiple times and at the house here when setting up our new internet.


If you checked the ip's I am out of ideas lol

It is more like it was lagging out our internet, then really losing it.
