Terabytes? If that's accurate and not an exaggeration, then Cox is letting you slide. Do NOT be surprised if they throw a ToS complaint against you at a moment's notice. According to their published limits, you can dl "only" 60 gigabytes/mo. That's 720 GB a year... so if you really are consuming TBs in 1/2 year, then you are far over their limits. http://www.cox.com/policy/limitations.asp On 5/25/09 3:09 PM, blake gonterman wrote: > Hey, what constitutes a "fairly heavy"/"heavy" user with Cox cable? > I have the highest tier availbable (20mb/sec?) and have managed to dl > many tb's worth of data in the last 6 months since switching to that > tier. i haven't been rate-limited yet though... > > btw, im in southwest chandler (10 and 202 interloop) area and get an avg > of 1.2MB/sec in peak times and aroun 2.5 to 3MB/sec off-peak. > Thanks, > Gnunixguy > On Mon, May 25, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Michael Butash > wrote: > > Bob, I'm a fairly heavy user, but they don't throttle in their network > (yet).
