League of Legends

Hey everyone, Docdead here.  I just wanted to drop another update on the LoL campaign.  You all have been doing an amazing job.  We have opened 383 accounts as of this time and 94 people have leveled above 10.  I am only 6 accounts away from the next major milestone.  In the next couple weeks, Riot games is implementing additional rewards for recruiting.  Lets keep this ball rolling.  I would love to hit over 100 by Rantathon and then see if we can't jump it up during...

Comcast doing right?

So I wrote up an epic about this the night my router died and was too disheartened to try to recreate the brilliance of what I had created. So instead I will just type up a quick version.

So I recently got an email from Comcast letting me know that they have finally released their bandwidth monitor so that you cam keep track of how much usage you've done in a given month. I was all set to test out the acuracy of this tool by looking at how much bandwidth my router was reporting vs the new tool. Unfortunately my 1 1/2 year old Linksys 600N decided to screw the pooch and die. It wasn't reporting anything so I power cycled it, hoping it would clear the memory and start logging again. Instead it entered a continuous rebooting loop. I couldn't stop the loop or log into the router so I ended up buying a new one. (can't be without my internets).

So is Comcast finally waking up and doing the right thing by providing this long promised tool? I would say yes and no. Yes, this tool has needed to be available since they first started capping everyone at 250 GB of bandwidth. How else could you know that you were using too much before getting your service cut? Unfortunately the tool is buried on their website under your login and user / account or something. This should really be on the homepage when you log in or available as a widget you download.
My next concern is that 11 days into the month and the meter shows me at 80 GB of usage. At this rate I shouldn't hit the cap, but it won't take much more for me to start getting close. Comcast claims that the 250 GB is enough that 99.9% of their users will never reach the limit. While I may use more than an average person at the moment, I don't think this will last. I am just at the forefront of Internet usage. I believe more and more people will start using as much and more bandwidth as I am currently. I am buying games on steam and DLC on my Xbox. I watch movies via Netflix streaming and shows on Hulu. This is what leads me to my current high usage. As more high definition content becomes available and more things are put into the cloud, all or our daily Internet usage is going to increase. I hope Concast realizes this and revisits their idea of a cap on their "unlimited" service.

Hmmm. Maybe I should actually start a blog....
