Comcast was throttling BitTorrent traffic, at least in some areas, til the FCC said that the packet inspection necessary to do that was an invasion of privacy. Guess they're just limiting bandwidth usage generically, now.

Re: [MBZ] Warning from Comcast
Alltel told me they are the only unlimited. My Sprint bill shows usage without a 5GB cap. Perhaps because its considered a business account?

For cellular users, Sprint reserves the right to cancel you if you go over 5GB per month, and Verizon charges a nice fat overage fee ($0.49 per MB last I knew) for going over 5GB. So far, I haven't received anything from Alltel (now merged with Verizon) about overage charges on my account. I've been holding pretty steady at 3.5GB per month for the several months.

Re: [MBZ] Warning from Comcast
Doesn't sound like the Comcast limit of 250 GB / month would be a problem for normal users.
