    I'm a rather heavy net user and well beyond most people. I've typically never been much over 300 Gig in a month and usually well below that and that is with 2 Vudus and I'm about to add a third.

    Comcast's cap is 300 Gig.

    Also, if you really are concerned, a business account on contract with Comcast only costs about $10 more a month. Then there are NO limits. That's what I have.

      i think AT&T dsl is just a little bit more inex*****ive, at the cost of 6mbit down, which is ok for me, and no caps. i dont do bittorrent, that is illegal, and risky. i had read of one man, some mac guy, who did the whole internet tv thing, a real geeky guy, did nothing illegal, and went over his caps, by normal usage, just be queueing and subscribing to things, so that kind of scared me. perhaps, his usage, was actually, uhm, excessive

      i am a 35 year old disabled man, so it helps to have things to keep me busy at home in my down time, i'm actively trying to get reacclaimated to the real world, so its nice to have a quality product to compliment the postive experiences in life. still a bit pricey, but, life is expensive

        AT&T is possibly more inexpensive but having once had DSL for about 7 years and now having cable, I can't see going back to DSL.

        Comcast is rolling out new speed packages and soon the 6 Mb/sec package will be near the bottom of their service tier. I don't think it will be all that much compared to AT&T.

        As far as caps - Let's look at Vudu. Let's say you watch a movie every day in a month. That's say, 30 days. The SD file size is 1.5 MB or so that means it's roughly 45 Gig. HD movies are roughly 5 Gig in size. So that's 150 Gig. HDX movies are about 10 Gigs so that's roughly 300 Gig. So you will only hit the limit if you watch a movie every day if you watch HDX every day.

        Now, what about upload - well, even if the box uploaded constantly around 300 kbps every day all day, it will still only take up something like 30 Gigabytes worth of upload. We calculated it somewhere here one time and I could do it again if you need me to. But your upload is probably not going to be more than 25 to 30 Gigs maximum.

        So given all this, I don't think you have anything to worry about...

I would estimate my Vudu traffic (and "other" internet traffic) is much higher than the typical user, and I've never broken 250GB in a month. You pretty much have to be a 24/7 Bit Torrent junkie to break that CAP.

          P.S. Glad you figured out that there's a wee bit more to the interface and catalog - like an order of magnitude. I also want to applaud you for sticking to it and finding your mistakes vs. throwing out the baby with the bath water.
          No Bit Torrent here and I hit between 800GB and 1.3TB each month between my 40 devices on my network.

          Although the one or two times a year I download a torrent it does spike my usage alot higher since I leave the PC on for two or three days after to continue seeding what I downloaded. Keeping the upload to a max of 15mbs so I still have 5mbs upload speed to spare.

            I think, one of VUDU reps posted a typical upload/database download usage and it was something like 4-10 GB/mo, so you should be in the clear.

            Also, AT&T and Comcast are certainly not the only players in Houston. I get my DSL through Oplink which is a very trustworthy local player -- http://www.oplink.net/
