Just wondering, does Comcast give you a maximum upload and download limit per month and make you pay extra if you exceed it? I know some companies were starting to do this and didn't know if Comcast did or not. If so, they'll be on my To Do List of things to CANCLE.
The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fears subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from.

Actually Comcast does impose a limit but they will not give you an actual number for that limit so will only know if you go over the limit when you get a letter in the mail from them telling you that you went over the monthly limit and are in danger of having your avvount cancelled.

i think ur talking about if someone is running a server.
There is no set limit, but engineers do occasionally check the highest users, and port scan at times, etc. and if they find a server will usually inform you. If you continue, they have the right to terminate your service. This isnt something to worry about on the Comcast network though, and will really only happen if your INSANELY using our upstream, as in full cap 24/7, all the time.
There's actually a heated debate about that over at DSLR. A user's account was terminated for going over the limit, but Comcast advertises "unlimited" transfer in their marketing.
