Bowie, MD | Aside from the other issues involved...
The actual numbers are not way out there... I am a heavy user (FIOS though), but even I have a hard time hitting 20 to 30 gig a month... although I do not download music/movies (mostly ISO's for various BSD distros) |

Bowie, MD | Sorry, I should have explained that a little better... legitimate usage...... and that includes using Amazon unbox on my Tivo.. which admittedly is not HD yet, I am sure my content usage would go up at that point... |

| and what is this proving? the RIAA are the real pirates stealing from the artists.
this is about CONTROL and to remove a residential customer and only offer a business class and greed.

united state | I don't think the RIAA has anything to do with Roger's capping, if I'm not mistaken. |

Did you know..
The lightest package, you can use your consumption in 1/2 day ?
Kbps KB/sec KB/day MB/day GB/day Allowance
512 64 5529600 5400 5.27 2.5 GB
1024 128 11059200 10800 10.55 25GB
7168 896 77414400 75600 73.83 60GB
10240 1280 110592000 108000 105.47 95GB
18432 2304 199065600 194400 189.84 95GB
It'll take you 1 day to download that Fedora Core ISO, and you will have used 2x your consumption .. sheesh. :uhh:
Lite with 25GB cap is somewhat more reasonable
10800MB/day, would at least give 2.5 days of continous download

said by Smith6612  :I don't think the RIAA has anything to do with Roger's capping, if I'm not mistaken. yup especially considering Rogers is Canadian, and the Recording Industry Association of America might have little pull in Canada but I could me mistaking since any Canadian artist of notoriety inevitably signs to an American label.... is there an RIAC????

Huh? You can do more than 20 to 30 gigabytes in one day just watching a few high definition trailers. Heck you can do even more than that with your computer turned off for the whole month. |

Montreal, QC | "a few"? Assuming 5mbit/s video, 30GB would take 819 minutes (about 14 hours). If we assume trailers are 90 seconds each, you could watch 546 trailers on 30GB. |
