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.

The Crysis Demo is 1,813MB!

God forbid you want to try a couple demos, huh?

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.

Sarcasm... I'll edit it to reflect such.
