I was concerned when Comcast started the 250GB limit. I use it for my business and upload and DL a lot of images (We're a photography studio) With 25Mbps DL and 3.5 up we can move a decent amount of data. I know we often upload hundreds of megabytes per day. But we found that 250GB is a lot of data.
In fact we have only gone over 100GB a few times in the past couple of years.
What legitimate uses would there be to use 250GB a month?

You have to wonder WHY they were so happy building fast fast fast 'last mile' infrastructure, and forgetting the big honking pipes in the middle. I mean.. DUH !
Sort of like running 2000 amp lines to every home, and then wondering WHY some houses are actually using more than the old 10 amps ?
Stupid.
or running the lines knowing full well the future of rising profits will be based on "overages"
They're adopting the Banking model, fees, fees, fees, and then punishing for overages.
Cheers!

Sorry, still not convinced.
And I always thought it was irresponsible for Netflix to roll out that service-- it puts a huge burden on the providers and they didn't offer to assist with the infrastructure. I would be more inclined to blame Netflix for this policy shift than any sort of revenue motive.
