How did you reach that?

i lost the bitlocker encryption key of my hard drive that houses all my games so i had to erase and download them all. that ate up 600GB of my montly limit.

normal usage (we watch a lot of streamed shows) usually hits about 300 gb, and i just downloaded more games today so im definitely going over.

it's the monopoly that screws us. should they not charge overages? yes.
personally i rather they throttle data during high usage instead if over the cap.

looks like charter is charging an extra 4$ to the monthly rate.
at least it's lower than centurylink.

It's an additional $50 a month for the unlimited plan if you really need it.

If you dont care about how long its gonna take just use the public xfinitywifi hotspot. It doesnt count against your monthly limit

You can get 28-30mbps speeds on that

If you had Windows 10, you should have a Microsoft account. If you have a Microsoft account, it should be linked to bitlocker. If it's linked, you can retrieve it.

I was in a similar situation in August. And going over big time is exactly what I did. Just go for broke. Theres no real reason not to. The overage counts the exact same whether its 20mb or in my case an entire extra 1TB.

i dont use a microsoft account. i had it backed up to a text file but i dont know where it went. it wasn't in my usual folder and what i thought was it didn't work.

i made sure i have it backed up, printed out and put in a safe, and in a seperate location on a flash drive this time.

also i have all my games backed up on an old hdd so if i ever have to download games again, i can just copy it over locally.

No, just almost every game I have for Xbox One, and some off of Gamepass as well. 1TB would probably be the entire filmography of a single relatively popular pornstar, if it was all in HD.

Nope. Not at all. And believe it or not, most of that came in less than 48 hours. When I saw I was going to go over, I just said fuck it and loaded up my queue. Never dropped in speed at all. I did find out that the Xbox One download faster when the system is on, rather than when it is off. I figured if you werent running anything else it would be faster, but it turned out to be the exact opposite.

Also, fuck Comcast.

They won't do shit to you. If you're like me, you pay them every month and never abuse their system. So going over by a large amount in one month won't bother them. You aren't a habitual offender. Those are the people the target.
