| Screw your caps Cox. I will take my FIOS thank you very much...
And NO caps not even soft. I can use it 24/7 if I want. I already push 20TB/month and its NO problem. Screw u cox. For most of these companies caps are total BS just to get people to use their TV service. If you download all the TV you watch your easily looking at 500-750 GB usage with 1-1.5GB files for 720p series. Much more if 1080p.

New Orleans, LA | The fact that the meters rarely work or work some-of-the-time should not deter Cox
Much like the upcoming RIAA/MPAA "enforcement" where users are deemed guilty by little-to-no-evidence.....these companies should go forward with these "You are guilty because we say you are" |

Re: Screw your caps Cox. How much is that insane connection? I remember the discussion about you replacing the two FIOS with this super FIOS since you run servers and hosting, but how much does that thing run you per month? |

You can bundle a 150/70 Mbps FiOS connection + TV bundle with every channel Verizon carries including premiums + Phone for $150-200/mo in NY/NJ.
If he's bonding two of those he might be looking at $400 a month. |

It is a bit over $400/month; however, for 450 megabits of combined (up/down bandwidth it comes out to less than $1 per megabit of up/down speed. Much better pricing than most others.
Also no cap so if I maxed the up and down I could potentially use 130TB/month up and down.
Also many people have TV/phone/internet 35/35 which can do 10TB/month (20TB in/out) and again no caps.

Billings, MT | I'd love to have that type of link.
What's the router handling all this traffic? |

A 1u box with an intel core i3-2120t (35w TDP) machine. The atom 1.6 Ghz box I had before wasnt quite fast enough to handle VPN at the speeds I needed which I use for the bonding.

Linux since that is what I am intimately familiar with and not even sure if there is a packet based round robin bonding driver for bsd so not even sure if I could do what I am doing on bsd.

I got news for ya buddy. When a connection is labeled "UNLIMITED" especially FiOS, ANY amount of usage is reasonable. The only way it would be unreasonable is if its not labeled "UNLIMITED" |

Hes paying over $400 a month for a 450 mb connection. For that kind of money and that kind of bandwidth 20TB, he *can* do a total of 130TB a month so hes using less than 1/6th of what he can use. Only using 1/6th of what you pay for hardly seems unreasonable to me. |
|
| reply to BF69
20TB is completely reasonable. That's only 15% utilization of his $400/month connection. Maybe after 100TB you could say he was downloading a lot, but even then the ISP has no right to complain since they chose to offer such a fat pipe |

Re: So said by openbox9:Each individual customer before they pay their bill?
How would a consumer know if what the meter says is correct?
My parents and friends would not have even the SLIGHTEST clue how much they use per month |

Re: Screw your caps Cox. If I downloaded all the TV I watch, it would be Zero used of a 1MB cap. The reason is pretty simple. I no longer watch TV or any sort of Paid Programming so your argument is a non-issue for me. Heck I've even stopped using BT for the same reason I quit watching TV and going to the Movies. Nothing good available.
What I do miss is my local bookstore as I prefer reading over any of the passive experiences of simply watching. |
