Comcast says using the Xbox 360 Xfinity On Demand streaming app will not count against their bandwith cap.

The company clairied on a recent FAQ that the content is being delievered over a private IP network and not public Internet. The Xfinity TV app will be added in a future update for Xbox 360.

To use the app once it's live, Xbox 360 customers will have to have Xbox Live Gold, a subscription to the Xfinity internet service, and at least one cable box connected to the digital TV service.

What?

I really wish my provider would do something like that so I could actually watch some shows without being scared to go over my cap.

Huh. I've never heard of Xfinity. I'm switching over to AT&T Uverse this weekend...

Who actually cares about this?
by Codyeo Monday, March 26, 2012 at 07:30 PM

I use the Internet all day long, for work as an at-home software engineer, dozens of different sites and I watch movies too. Also Steam on the PC and CoD on the PS3...never have I hit the data cap. To be honest I wasn't even aware I had one.

Oh joy

You know, I think it's funny that the picture has a Xbox Elite, not a slim.

What kind of sense does this make? Bandwidth is bandwidth, and if they want to make a stink about it (granted you get a ton of data per month) this should be included too.
by JDMx607 Monday, March 26, 2012 at 07:52 PM

HAHAHAHA what a joke. comcast lies so bad. they say they dont charge for bandwith yet they disconnect me all the time for it.
by dagnastyep Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:11 PM

I'm excited for this, Comcast has quite the crappy UI for it's on demand service.
by jwells1135 Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:14 PM

lol data caps.
by Ownzoir Monday, March 26, 2012 at 08:22 PM

I find it funny, and very bad, that they still have data caps. It just shows how outdated Comcast's network is that they can't support people going over a data cap.
by Anonymous Tom Monday, March 26, 2012 at 09:09 PM

Great. AT&T started the Data cap trend, then Time-Warner adopted it and now Comcast? ***!
by Earthbound_X Monday, March 26, 2012 at 09:18 PM

Comcast has a data cap? Guess we have a plan that doesn't include that.
by The_Spaz Monday, March 26, 2012 at 10:03 PM

I was going to scream *** but then I reread the article. So owning a PS3 pretty much is still a kick in the nuts when it comes to netflix?? This would actually make sense as to why I went over my data cap by 15Gb... Seriously 250Gb data cap and me all by my lonesome managed to fill 50 % of it just watching shows on my ps3 via netflix. Now that I no longer use Netflix I max out to only 40% of the datacap.

Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through for a streaming service.
