at this point there is no limit; thus they can't enforse something they don't decail to customers.

HOWEVER; what has been posted by them recently is that they may go to a 250GB monthly cap for users then chanrge $15 for every 10 GB of badwidth used there after.

Their system is simply bogged down. With 14 million subscribers this realistically would only effect 114 thousand or so. Giving that even if you eliminated those 114k worrth of users their system still would be grinding to a halt with ever slowing speeds. They simply need to raise their system of to par.

With more and more time/place shift devices, online movie services, products such as dishnetwork or directv's on demand services and such; a company will have to able to offer the ability to be complaint rather then throwing up a brick wall in order to stop what people are getting highspeed for to begin with.

OOtherwise they will be seeing more and more customers leave for things like ffios and new and upcomming services.

At any rate; currently there is no cap on monthly usage. The slingbox uses less then you think when compared to 4.7GB per movie downloads off newsgroups and such which is prompting them to begin with.....

Well comcast has officially created the 250GB cap, but it shouldn't effect most people unless your slingbox at home is contantly connected to a client somewhere outside your house. Notice that the cap is in GigaBYTES, not GigaBITS. Doing the math, I'll use what I average (1 Mbps) upload speed with my slingbox.

250GB = 250,000MB
8 bits (bps) = 1 byte (Bps)
3600 second per hour

So,
(250,000*8)/3600 = 555.5 hours per month of watching slingbox. Of course you do other things with your home internet connection so that cuts down on that time somewhat, but I'd guess even the heaviest of slingbox users dont watch more than 55 hours a month, much less 555.

Happy Slinging!

It's not just a Comcast issue, it's an issue all major ISP's are having. There are too many people using P2P software, VoIP, downloading videos, and other high bandwith programs. Think about how many people use Bit Torrents and leave it on 24 hrs a day. They have to put a cap on or else it will only get worse. The avg Sling'r will not even notice this, it'd only be an issue if you use your Sling 24/7 instaed of having a TV in a remote location. You'll see this same type of cap being used in the future with ATT, TWC, etc. Comcast being the largest they took the lead but the others will follow. Less than 10% of the current Comcast customers would be over the limit according to reports I read.
