Comcast has announced it will restrict customer's Internet usage starting October 1, in order to provide what it calls the best service to its subscribers.
Users who go over the 250 GB limit twice in a six month period could have their service terminated for a year. Comcast said the new bandwidth cap will affect less than one percent of its 14 million subscribers.
Comcast said its average customer uses two to three GB of bandwidth per month.
The company said it will notify customers of the new bandwidth limits using banner ads on Comcast.net and notices sent with monthly bills.
The Federal Communications Commission investigated complaints by consumer groups that it was blocking P2P applications like BitTorrent and ordered Comcast to change its network management policy earlier this month.
