Hi Scott,<br><br>dont forget, that your's ISP last mile connectity is not sized for running high-traffic servers. They count with aggregation, because dont expect many users running any kind of server application. And I think there is nothing illegal in their business. If you want to run fast server, rent a server or ask Comcast to some business plan with less aggregation (and much much higher price, because it is last mile connectivity).<br>
<br>Btw, Im also running one Tor exit on cable Internet. I have not any traffic monitoring, but expect that Im also near to 300GB/month and Im just waiting on first call from my ISP ;). 300GB of traffic is far over any "normal" usage of home internet, especially in contry of former CCCP :-D:<br>

Last week I found a voice mail message from a phone number I didn't<br>
recognize, who claimed to be from the "Comcast Security Assurance Division",<br>
demanding that I call them at yet another number I didn't recognize. I called<br>
the normal number to reach Comcast, explained what had happened, and gave that<br>
person the phone numbers. I was told then that those did not appear to be<br>
Comcast phone numbers and that they had never heard of such a department or<br>
division in Comcast. I asked whether I should report the incident to the<br>
police. They said that would be a good idea, so I did report it to the local<br>
police, stating that I suspected a possible phone scam aimed at identity theft.<br>
