Re: Blocks of data Why would you pay the same amount for a 'premium' service with CAPS, when you can get the exact same thing without a cap. Hell, if you downloaded 1TB/month, you would be out 29.95+80.00=109.95, vs. the 29.95 fee you would pay for the regular package? Sure, if your a gamer, the latency might make you go for the premium, but I guantee you that's not their big seller.
option 1: $29.95/month @ 5mb/sec UNLIMITED where you can download a about 1.5TB/month vs option 2:paying 29.95+130.00 = 159.95/month? Who chooses option 1? Everyone

| Actually the price for the unlimited is going up by $10 this January.
Essentially if you download less than 300GB on average, then premium is the better deal. If you download more than 300GB then unlimited is a better deal.
Also, unlimited has different transit which has slightly higher latencies than premium, which gamers are mostly concerned about. |

| I live in Australia, unlimited is not truely unlimited. You go past a predetermined amount, 20gb; then you are shaped to 64k until the next billing cycle. I have use a data block plan. Yes it makes me more selective of my downloads. I also have peak and nonpeak download times, 2am-10am. So I use a download manager and schedule my downloads. So while unlimited means you still have internet, you have to live with their terms. |
