Comcast Internet Usage Meter

C

So Comcast just rolled out their meter to see if you're anywhere close to the allowable 250GB per month.

Apparently trading everyday doesn't use much at all.

December i was not on much at all so ignore that number.

I noticed this the other day as well.

Even with my kids downloading movies on Limewire, my usage still isn't too bad. Still, it's around 30-40 GB :cool:
 
Forgive my tech ignorance, but as far as the amount of usage involved for a full-time trader, would it matter how many streaming charts (or other data) you had coming in all day?
 
No, the price data feeds might seem like a lot of data but really isn't much compared with music and streaming video downloading.

Yes I believe it would. All the tick changes are bandwidth. The more charts the more changes A huge difference probably no but who knows check it yourself. It you were creating a custom tick with all 500 stocks coming in and tick changes, that could get intensive.

That's what I originally was thinking. I'm streaming about 17 charts across 4 monitors, and would think it would be more intensive than just 3 or 4 symbols.
 
unbelievable...while japan and other asian countries are rolling in 1gb speed, US is start counting bandwidth usage like some third world countries back in 1995...
screw you,comcast..i'm glad i was able to get rid of ALL your services..die

Traders wonder "how powerful a video card do I need?".

Most video modern video cards throughput is at least 5GB/s... many are 20GB/s+...
