The company says the <em>Call of Duty<\/em> game, which it released on October 25th, was responsible for a whopping 19 percent of its overall traffic last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">It\u2019s not really possible to quantify that further, given Comcast didn\u2019t provide any specific numbers \u2014 either about how many customers were downloading the game or how big their downloads were. <a href=\"https:\/\/insider-gaming.com\/how-many-gigs-is-black-ops-6-file-size-explained\/\">Ranging between<\/a> 84.4GB for the PlayStation version and 102GB for the PC edition <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 <\/em>is, in the grand tradition of <em>Call of Duty<\/em> games, a hefty download. It can be as much as 300GB if players choose to go ahead and download <em>Modern Warfare II <\/em>and <em>III<\/em> and all the associated content packs and languages, as Activision <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CODUpdates\/status\/1800273804389941699\">explained in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Comcast bragging about its gigantic network traffic weekend in this way really underscores, if you scratch the surface a tad, just how restrictive its 1.2TB data cap can be in 2024. The company lifted that cap during the covid pandemic and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/15\/24271148\/fcc-data-cap-impact-consumers-inquiry\">delayed reinstating it multiple times<\/a>, but nevertheless brought it back in most US states. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The FCC, which says providers have the \u201ctechnical ability\u201d to operate without such limits, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/15\/24271148\/fcc-data-cap-impact-consumers-inquiry\">currently investigating<\/a> how they affect consumers. Whether the FCC can actually do anything about that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/6\/28\/24180118\/supreme-court-chevron-deference-decision-opinion\">is in question<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">For any players who did download the whole massive 300GB package, they\u2019ll have wiped out a huge chunk of their 1.2TB Xfinity data cap in one fell swoop. If they used their internet as normal otherwise, that could put them right up against or even blow past that cap. Given that my family used nearly 800GB last month without any notably large game downloads, it wouldn\u2019t be that hard at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/10\/30\/24283801\/comcast-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-large-downloads\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comcast is boasting about what it\u2019s calling its \u201cbiggest week in internet history,\u201d which it pegs on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 downloads and Thursday Night Football streams.
