Coincidently, last week Comcast sent me an email about their "High-Speed Internet Data Usage" meter that can be viewed when I log on to my account options.

Your Comcast High-Speed Internet service has a monthly data usage allowance of 250 gigabytes (GB). If you are wondering whether you are at risk of exceeding this 250GB threshold, you should know that the vast majority - around 99% - of Comcast customers use significantly less than 250GB per month.

It's no secret we've been evaluating a specific monthly data usage or bandwidth threshold for our Comcast High-Speed Internet residential customers for some time. Rumors circulated online last year and they popped up again in May.
In January, we added new frequently asked questions about what we consider acceptable use of our service to our online Help site customer.comcast.com and Security Channel page Comcast.net Security.
We've listened to feedback from our customers who asked that we provide a specific threshold for data usage and this would help them understand the amount of usage that would qualify as excessive. On October 1, 2008, we amended our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) available at Comcast.net Terms Of Service - Acceptable Use Policy to establish a specific monthly data usage threshold of 250 GB/month per account for all residential customers.

I'm so far under the limit that it doesn't bother me. I don't have a problem with it and wouldn't even if I were getting close.
But I would have an issue if they began to provide preferential routing or something similar.
