Fine, How much is too much?

We can't tell you that.

So how do I know if I download too much?

We can't tell you that.

How do you determine what is too much then?

As it turns out, it is something based on where you rank in their percentages of other downloaders. If your transfers are in the top 0.5% or something, they classify that as 'too much.'

I got rid of my comcast home connection then. Good thing, since in an average month I can easily transfer 600GB (My home machines are backups for my remote servers, so they are transferring full backups all the time).
