I'm new to all this stuff...

But can anyone tell me how I could see if I've gone past my "Bandwith cap"?

Do your download movies from torrents? If so then you are probably going over the cap.

Thats a bs theory. I have directv and use the on demand service and frequently go over the cap because of that. Otherwise the occasional tv show I have to get because a football or baseball game goes over and ruins my recordings.

So the 20/2 plan has a 250gb cap? Thought it was unlimited, or was that changed when they started testing the 60mb plan in MO? Hopefully they don't enforce it because I go over 250gb a month on slow months.

For instance, Oct has been an extremely slow month for me (lots of traveling) and right now I'm at 247.27gb total bandwidth used as of 10/25 8:44pm CST.

The caps started in February. 60 Meg has no cap. The 20 meg tier has 250 GB cap, 5 and 10 meg tiers are 100 GB per month.

To record the logs? Tomato firmware on a WRT54GL

"60 meg has no cap"

Which doesn't really matter because pretty much no one has 60 meg. So right about now Charter caps almost everyone.

Does anyone know what the cost is for the overage? Is it per megabyte/bit gigabyte/bit?

Or is it the elusive "we know and that's all that matters?"

I've got : October 2009 (Incoming: 64472 MB / Outgoing: 179568 MB) So far this month on a 10Mb connection, I haven't noticed any affects yet, is this one of those people that like to complain for no reason?

Yes, zed does absolutely nothing here except bash charter. That's why I made my first post.

I don't know exact details, but I watch streaming movies on netflix all day and I'm sure I'm way over the cap. I've never heard anything from Charter.

250GB for everyone would be fair. I've gone over 100GB twice since it started (that I know of, I couldn't get anyone to tell me on the phone what date it reset each month). I'll likely go over 100GB this month. I haven't come close to 250GB though and that seems like a very fair number. I do have uncapped DSL as an alternative if it gets bad.
