How Do I Check Comcast Usage?
Tracked by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), bandwidth, also known as data usage, indicates the amount of data transferred via your Internet connection. ISPs, including Comcast, monitor your usage level and can charge for excessive data usage. Excessive Internet usage slows down both your ISP and the overall Internet. According to Comcast, data usage above 250 Gigabytes (GB) per month is considered excessive. Comcast has an online tool you can use to check your data usage level. The tool is free and currently only available to Comcast High-Speed Internet users in the Portland, Oregon area.
