Re: [POLL] How much bandwidth do YOU use?

Per what ??

I'll submit my average consumption level, but it would be nice if you specify the purpose of your poll...

A month.

Doesn't Comcast base it's decisions to cancel your account based on how much bandwidth you use compared to the average usage on your node or in your area?

It would be nice to see some real usage figures.

O/k, so now you have specified the purpose of your poll, but I feel the need to comment that this topic has been addressed here, in one way or another, many times over..

Re: [POLL] How much bandwidth do YOU use per month?

My All Time High was last June(I believe) at just over 31GB for a month.

There just isn't anything really worth downloading anymore.

How do you keep track? The big things I can remember, not the lots and lots of little things that add up.

My usage varies, but I usually use about 100GB a month, depending on what I'm doing.

I download considerable amounts of... ***shifty eyes*** warez, ***ahem*** "scientific research," (if you know what I'm talking about) every month...

In all seriousness, yes, I do download a LOT of stuff.

I'm curious how one would know how much bandwidth they use each month if they don't use DU Meter or an equivalent. What about bandwidth for streaming radio or video? Wouldn't that count toward a total? DU Meter wouldn't show that would it? So, how do you know? I have no idea.

DUMeter shows all activity on a given computer, including streaming video.

If you have more than one computer online and going, router firmware like Tomato has a built in bandwith monitor that catches everything that goes over a LAN.

Thank you. I do vaguely recall now that a couple of years ago when Road Runner users were upset about supposed bandwidth restrictions that I did use DUMeter for a month. I didn't purchase it though and had forgotten I ever used it even briefly. I'm using more bandwidth now (especially streaming radio which I forget and leave on while I sleep) than then and I do have another computer connected but don't download on it much. I have an older Linksy router and can't use Tomato. Whenever I buy a new router I will get one that can use that third party firmware.

I use 400 Gb/month... no it's not P2P... not even installed.

I do a lot of cooperative processing of small data files ... at any given time I'm running say 50-100 programs on each of my 30 systems each are processing files that are a minimum of 100Mb in size;... each file takes about 20 seconds (on average to process) and return the data.

I also have a system that I use for personal abuse

I'm averaging around 60GB per month according to my Netmeter readings, though I did have a spike last month up to 125GB. My usage increased in August due to having another user on the setup (my significant other and I moved in together).

I burn through 200 a month easy. I'm a beta tester for a few games right now. Having to download 1-2 gig clients, not just once but a few. Constant patching between 20-200 megs. Not to mention the fact I play a released game and have to take their patches.

Passing modules back and forth between classmates, downloading fansubbed anime (all non-licensed, removed once word comes someone here has grabbed the anime and licensing it here). Trading that anime with friends. I've metered it and hit 200 but I haven't hit 300 in a month since I was on Optimum Online and acting as an active IRC distro for the anime.
