As of right now, the 250GB cap is a soft cap. Going over only risks that after the second warning Comcast will cancel your service and ban you for a year. There are no "blessed" options unless you are a business subscriber.
Purchasing your movie/video viewing from Comcast is the "blessed" option.
And a "soft cap" is a hard cap, if you regularly want/need more than the cap.
P.S. I agree that I may have "waffled" a bit with respect to the option to switch to business class service. However, I understand that business class service is not available in all areas, can itself be a significant price bump (i.e. not an incrementally reasonable amount for incrementally more bandwidth), and requires different equipment and an on-site installation visit -- also at significant cost. (I don't have it, though, so correct me if I'm wrong.)
P.P.S. On the other hand, I have considered their business class product to be an option if and when I need it. At least some sort of higher capacity option. Let's hope they don't take it away, e.g. from residential locations.
