At least they are offering more bandwidth at a price. Before it was a hard cap at 250GB with no way to buy more.

But still, it makes me want to up and move to Chattanooga.

That's incorrect. The old comcast system took congestion into account. I routinely ran 500-600GB/month offsite backups, but I scheduled them for the middle of the night and midday, and I never got a nastygram for exceeding the cap. The new system pretends that all bits are equally expensive, regardless of whether the system is currently slammed or twiddling its thumbs, which is a profit-maximizing lie.

I suspect it was selectively enforced. I had a similar usage pattern and did get a notice.
