We currently have the high speed for $38 a month with the "Trio" plan. The price is good, the speed is good (can reach 750kB/s direct download). The service has usually been good but something has really became annoying in the last few years.
THE 20GB DOWNLOAD CAP!!!!
They began by boosting a bit at the same time as the download speed, wich is now 7.1mbps. However, they stopped it at 20GB. This is clearly a "you wanna download? then pay for EXTREME!!!!" 20GB cap for an high speed internet is completly unthinkable in 2008.
Game demos? 1.5GB each
MMO trials? 6GB
Game patches? 150MB-2GB
Windows patches? 400MB a month
Windows service packs? 800MB
A 5 minutes video on youtube? 25MB
Wanna try a linux distro? 4GB
20GB is now REALLY LOW for enthousiasts users. The basic service is even worst, 1GB download cap!!!! They will all bust it out with the soon to come release of XP SP3 and Vista SP1!!!!
It can be good for lots of people but if you have children between 11-20, forget abouti t, the first thing you will see is a $20 penalty at the ned of the month
