| Re: 1-3 GB a month? I agree... its a poor attempt at making the numbers look high.
1-3GB (which is their 'average') will be killed in 1 Fedora Core ISO image.
What happens when people decide to run web cams, BitTorrents or Netflix movies, or streaming TV ?
I suspect basic light browsing would consume 1-3GB, but what happens when I want to transfer (or backup) my HD over the web, or send a DVD or 2's worth of info?
Also, frame circuits are really expensive.

Houston, TX | Re: 1-3 GB a month? You do realize they don't see 3GB as a limit, right? More like 150GB. If you are downloading 75 massive game demos each month I don't think the ISP is the problem. | |

| said by djrobx  :Yeah, most of my MP3s are in the 3.5-4mb range, so it sounds like their limit is about 150GB. I hate when companies try to dumb-down/overstate bandwidth limits by putting it in "big number" terms like that. Just tell us what you mean in GBs, please! Maybe someone should go do 299,999 huge RAW-image mode format "photo downloads" and claim that they should be below their stated "excessive use" threshold.  I use RAW in photo as a hobby. I have a two year old. My wife shoots pictures also. Me as in hobby set her camera to RAW. Live with it Qwest. Sharing toddler pictures. Bah humbug. | |
