| Ok, i've got sort of a theory for all of you How many times have any bit torrent users downloaded a large file (1 - 3GB), then it either did not work or was a different and/or fake file. Then having to keep trying, or download multiple torrents of the same thing to better your chances?
My point is, 250GB is not so much, On average I might say i'm somewhere around 3 - 14 GB a day. Bandwidth demand will grow in the future, count on it. |

| Of course it will, 20 average homes in the future will demand more bandwidth than the internet does as a whole today. Every bit of information will come down the internet (HD TV, video phone, and of course internet). Video phone is the big pusher, once we can get a "REAL-TIME" video connection into every house, the internet will change as we know it. Everything will be HD in future, WHY NOT. Personally I think the companies are just being cheap, i don't blame them for wanting to save money. But they act like they don't have any. Reminds me of oil companies...lol.

Looks like if you download two less DVDs per month then you'll be fine. The proposed 250 GB cap is enormous for a vast majority of consumers. |

I agree. I've been doing 200-230GB a month down, 100GB up each month this year and I'm on a friggin' slow ass 1.5mbit DSL line.
And before anyone says it, no I am not downloading tons of movies. 95% of what I download is the nightly TV shows or older shows I'd like to see again (A-Team, Miami Vice, Magnum PI, etc.). Hell, even if I streamed it off sites like Hulu or whatever, I bet I could get fairly close to what I'm using.
Although I am above the average now, I won't be for too long. Netflix, Hulu, etc. are all streaming movies and TV shows and high bandwidth media is definitely becoming the norm.
