</div>Comcast announced their transfer cap this summer. A quick search<br>
suggests it's 250GB per month. That's only four and a half hours at<br>
16MB/s to blast through your monthly quota. If you need Comcast, you<br>
should see if getting a business-oriented plan will get you around<br>
your current cap. If FiOS or the like is available in your area, you<br>
should consider switching; I haven't heard of anyone getting kicked<br>
off by AT&T or SBC for excessive usage.<br>

</div>If it's all work-related, you may want to look into a business account.<br>
