I was told one you get about one hour of streaming HD video per gig......The first two months of service I seemed to be getting one hour per gig...now it seems I am using 2 or 3 gigs for only one hour of HD streaming...I have changed my wireless passwords just in case but still seem to be using more than I used to per hour... just wondering if anyone else has tried to measure their data usage...
Hi, I moved your post to the streaming website area of the forum.
Comcast is converting from mpeg2 to mpeg4 format for non-local channels. Generally, a movie in mpeg2 will take 3-5 GB whereas same movie in mpeg4 will take approximately 1 GB.
Comcast has a usage 'meter' and breakdown by device on data used at https://customer.xfinity.com/MyServices/Internet/UsageMeter/ (note that the next feature will not currently work on chrome browser) and you can hit the link under the meter that says "view detailed data usage where it will show by device the data bytes used.
