Re: haha I think that is an unfair remark. There are plenty of free streaming sites. Just because you can afford one thing doesn't mean you can afford another.

He said he DOWNLOADED 130-150 GB a month he didn't say he STREAMED 130-150 GB worth of content. If people are going to talk about stuff they really to use the correct terminology. Streams from FREE site typically aren't over 1.5 Mbps so he'd have to stream 7 hours a day. Man he has a a lot of free time. Also if I was streaming TV 7 hours a day why even bother having cable? |

| Streaming or downloading is the same, at least as it pertains to this discussion. You are using bandwidth either way.
I don't think the OP mentioned if he had cable or not, but I for one do not. while I do not stream 7 hours a day, I can certainly see reaching the cap with multiple people using 1 connection the same as I do.

Sure, but if you download an episode of a show say from Amazon unbox that will use nearly twice the bandwidth as watching streamed version on cbs.com or wherever so it kind of matters.
Also I can see why someone who already paid for a show at Amazon then having to pay even more because of the bandwith would be mad. If you're watching shit for free from a website, well it's free.

I'm just saying if I'm watching that much TV online I'd save $60 a month and dump cable. That $60 could help pay for overage fees.
With multiple users it may be that you'd have to have multiple accounts. If my ISPs starting capping and in 3 years when my son is old enough to work if he just has to use so much we'd go over a cap he's just going to have to pay for his own connection. |
