Primus Users Adjust to 50GB Cap > Only 50GB?

Only 50GB?

A South African programmer claims it's cheaper to fly round trip to Hong Kong from South Africa - and download 100GB of data from an Internet cafe - that it is to use his 1Mbps per-byte DSL connection from South African telco Telkom to download that same 100GB.

50GB cap? That's almost nothing at all when it comes to serious use of broadband. $2.95 per gigabyte over is crazy. I'm glad Primus isn't my ISP (other than the fact that I'm not in Canada )

It's not uncommon. In Sacramento/Roseville CA, Surewest offers a 10/10 and 20/20 fiber connection, first major rollout in the nation (WinFirst actually) and their service is based on a 40gb cap in and out.

Up to 40 Gigabytes of unidirectional throughput monthly, calculated on inbound or outbound usage, whichever is higher.
