I'm quite sure your math had issues.  They've switched their pricing
quite a lot, so I don't know exactly which math you were doing.  For
95th percentile, that adds up to around 1.5 days of usage.  It looks
like their pricing now is .5, 1, and 3 GB/month of traffic.

1GB averages to 4kbps, in which case you must have a pretty nasty DSL
line if that's anywhere near your full bandwidth.  For a 256kbps DSL, it
would take about 8 hours at full rate to exceed 1GB of traffic.

For their non-business DSL lines, they only include 0.5GB of included
bandwidth, so make that 4 hours.

That's a nice thing about Comcast, we didn't have to get cable TV to get
the net service.
