The sun shines and continues to eat away at the snow, the sky is blue, and the wind is minimal – time for a stroll along the Stacy Boulevard, and a little beach walking and stone skipping!
Another spectacular day
Blue sky and snow
After yesterday’s snow storm, this morning was beautiful – the clouds had gone, leaving bright blue sky and strong Sun, with the trees glistening in their white coating. The drive to work was spectacular too, with the trees overhanging the road shining white, while the sky shone blue!
On days like these, cold New England might be better than Florida!
Comcast data usage
So, Comcast has introduced a “data usage meter”, and I find it rather suspicious!
Their FAQ makes such statements as:
The vast majority – more than 99% – of our customers will not be impacted by a 250 GB monthly bandwidth or data usage threshold … 250GB is far beyond the current median of data usage for a typical residential Internet customer in a month … median data usage by Comcast High-Speed Internet customers is approximately 2 – 4GB each month … 95% of service customers could increase their data usage many times over and still not be considered an excessive user …
But then their chart claims my January usage to be well past 50% of their limit! I wouldn’t mind if I torrent’ed heaps of movies, and ran SlingPlayer every day – but I don’t … of course Comcast provide no data statistics to back up their single number, so there’s no way to draw any conclusions from what they claim; I suppose I’ll need to look at traffic monitoring!
Anyone else with experience of this new Comcast feature?
