Comcast, the country’s largest Internet service provider, made official on Thursday its new decision to introduce limits of how much data subscribers are allowed to transfer per month. Starting October 1st, the provider’s subscribers won’t be allowed to pass the 250 gigabyte limit during a month.

Those who do pass the 250 gigabyte cap will first get a warning from Comcast and if they do it again they can kiss the provider’s services good bye for a entire year.

Comcast has posted its new usage policy on its Web site. It’s worth mentioning that Comcast won’t provide users with the tools to monitor their bandwidth usage. Instead, the Philadelphia-based company told its users to search the Web for the tool.

In May, Comcast was considering the implementation of a $15 charge for every 10 gigabytes above the limit. However, it changed its mind and set the 250 gigabytes cap which is above the maximum bandwidth used by most subscribers, the company said.

"250 GB/month is an extremely large amount of data, much more than a typical residential customer uses on a monthly basis. Currently, the median monthly data usage by our residential customers is approximately 2 - 3 GB,” the internet provider said in a statement.

Although it said the new bandwidth usage policy has nothing to do with FCC sanction it received for interfering with the traffic of its customers, Comcast introduced its new rules just a few days after the ruling.
