Comcast’s Awesomely Accurate Progress Bar

One of my favorite parts of being a Comcast customer is getting to login to my client portal and see my data usage.  (Of course I will enjoy this much less if they eventually decide to enforce their 250GB cap in my area, that will require me to find another ISP or pay their unlimited usage charge or a business class tier).

What I do get a good laugh out of is their ridiculously arbitrary progress bar.

Here is my data usage for January 2016:
comcast-meter-january

As you can see, I used 560GB of data… which although their (non-enforced) cap is 250GB, this appears to be roughly 60% of some arbitrary maximum?

 

I was quite surprised to login today on February 2nd and see this fantastic usage meter appear:
comcast-meter-4gb-off

It would seem that 4GB is almost as much usage as 560GB, who’d have thought?!

I checked on the other page as well and found the same ridiculousness:
comcast-meter-february

I would love to know what’s going on in Comcast’s heads sometimes!
