500 GB/month? hhahahahahaa... I do that every 2 days. (up and down) on a 30/15 connection.

I expected someone like you to post bragging about passing terabytes per month. That's why I used the word realistic. What do you do with your ~3.75 TBs (assuming equal upload/download) of downloaded content? Even assuming that you download uncompressed BD movies, you'd have to watch over five full movies every day of the month to come close to consuming what you're bragging about. What am I missing?

Actually I do like 40 GB a day on my 15 GB connection as I use non compressed VPN with my pc all the time. Plus I'm downloading lot's of anime daily.

500 GB is not worth it for 50mbps, i'd stick with the 15 mbps unlimited which is a better deal.

He keeps his palms hairy, his music free, and his movies in shitty hand held video camera quality.

In other words, he lives in his Mom's basement and doesn't have a girlfriend.

Actually, I'm a senior manager, have a kickass system, with many many terrabytes of storage, a music collection second to none, more movies and tv shows than I could ever watch. I have my own house, 2 cars and a motorcycle (kawasaki Vulcan 900). I DON'T wear a helmet (don't have to), did fill out organ donor card. I'm moderately successful with a nice 6 figure salary.

Look at it this way, I 'could' afford to pay for everything I have. Instead, I keep my money, and get all my stuff for free. I do donate a lot to charity, but never, ever to the cult of religion.

As in the words of the might right wing republican nut case, 'Greed is Good'. Guess that means I'm very good, because I'm very very greedy.

You seriously think a 50 Mbps connection capped at 500 GB isn't worth $60/mth? I do agree that the 15 Mbps tier is a better deal, but then it costs less too

My question still stands, if you have "more movies and tv shows than you could ever watch", what do you download? And why? Bragging rights? To screw the man? I'm truly trying to understand your hypocritical viewpoints.

Greed. Pure and simple. Greed. I don't NEED it, I WANT it.

"Greed denotes desire to acquire wealth or possessions beyond the needs of the individual"

And, as well all know, GREED is GOOD! Not hypocritical, just greedy.

You are being hypocritical when you ridicule corporations for being greedy and attempting to extract wealth from consumers and then you turn around and do a similar thing yourself.

I never said it's not worth 60 a month haha, I just said I'd prefer the 15 MBPS deal as I don't have to worry about running over the limit. The point of getting faster speeds for me is to get more content over the span of a month, if I can't do that i'd rather not have it.

Valid for some. For me, I'd pay for the time savings that extra throughput gives me. However, I'd choose the lower cost service because I value my money.
