Might be interesting to know at what point an ISP deems it worthy to call you and/or what they consider acceptable use. But I wouldn't want to be the one that tests it and gets banned. ;)

Did a few searches and seems like most were 90-300 gigabytes per month as unacceptable. But couldn't see anything on an actual ISP page that said you were limited to x amount of bandwidth per month, just that they may call you to help curve your usage. Comcast has claimed they're unlimited but have been in the news that that's not true for all customers.

Yeah, they won't say explicitly, because they provide "unlimited" (kiss my *censored*) access, but I stumbled upon unofficial numbers around 100GB.

You'd probably have to consistently transfer that amount every month too (I'd assume).

the worst thing is that they say what bandwith is considered "unfair usage"

Surprised even myself. The bulk of the traffic was on the up side, sending data over the network for backup. Final: 129.087GB.

I guess a byte here, a byte there, really adds up to some serious traffic.
