I have comcast and they have a 250 gig per month cap. I have been streaming netflix in hd. How much streaming can I do of movies without going over the limit? I don't intend on streaming too much but read that if you go over they terminate your internet.
Got a tip for us?

I use Netflix from my TiVOHD as well as computers and I have never had any issues with comcast and their alleged "cap". The cap is there so they have a reason to terminate abusers, you have nothing to worry about.
Watch some movies instead of spending time wondering about this topic.

If you have a certain kind of Linksys router, you can put custom firmware on it that'll track your usage. Try searching for "Tomato firmware"
That said, I just got done logging a month's worth of Netflix-heavy internet usage, and I came out at 100GB. I think that unless you are watching lots of stuff every day, in addition to downloading Linux distros in your spare time, you should be good. 🙂

Hehe, yeah, I think it would be hard if not impossible to reach the cap just through Netflix streaming (and besides, they have very little HD content so far 🙁... I hope they get season 4 of Heroes in HD streaming like they did with the first three, since FOX had to go and put 24 in the same time slot, or vice versa).
