Wait, is Kate Beckinsale serving it to me? Cuz I'd wait the 14 hrs then.

You're about 25 years too old for her. Have you seen her recent boy toys of late?

She's just going through a crisis. She'll come back. Besides, those younger guys don't know what the hell they're doing.

And in other burger news:

But low (sorta) in carbs.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is on tap for tonight. A little Thanksgiving comedy with the family to start the weekend.

I have had those bastards for years. Looks like I will be done with them soon. They are true evil. How do you know if you go over 1.2tb?

They really are a bunch of motherfuckers.

Fortunately, I don't believe I get close to using that much data each month.

Supposedly they let you know BUT it’s Comcast so I’m sure you would see it on your bill first!

This link should work:

https://customer.xfinity.com/#/services/internet

Login and the data usage should be under the Common Solutions tab. That’s what I’m seeing using a phone.

We have been close to 1TB over the past few months but I think it has more to due with COVID and the fact that we have been streaming almost everything we watch.

How in the heck can anyone use that much data?

Porn?

Comcast’s 95% under 1.2TB is misleading. I would like to know how much data a family of four uses while streaming 4K content without traditional cable TV? I’m guessing it’s closer to 2TB if not more. It’s only going to get worse and of course Comcast will be there to collect.

I'm guessing the pandemic has contributed to this. Many people stuck home using more data. Comcast wants to collect on this.

Our household topped out at 250GB back in May. Most of the time we're just under 200.

[edwardv]

I use about 400-500 gb a month so I guess I will be ok. I guess we will use more in the winter but I doubt I will hit 1.2 ever.

Currently in the "end of life" phase with my dog Max.

I probably should pull the trigger on it now, but I simply am being selfish, I don't have the will to do it yet.
