Has anybody...

I keep reading questions about how people can consume more then 250 gigs per month. I was just curious if anybody who has a hard time figuring out why with people consuming more then x amount per month, has gone over to a friends place & see what they are downloading, watching, etc & realized that it was possible.

I can see the limit being hit in households where everyone is a roommate & everyone shares the same connection. Also I would be curious if people are going to try to get a 2nd connection, etc

Sure

Online gaming? Even 24/7 that wouldn't even be 50 GB. Who plays 24/7? Most people would use under 15 GB. VoIP? 6 hours a day on the phone = 10GB. 6 hours a day of watching streaming TV from places like Hulu( assuming you're actually are streaming at 1.2 Mbps all the time which you won't be ) = 95 GB. Downloading 6 HD movies a month from places like Itunes or Xbox Live = 35 GB. 8 hours a day of streaming music online= 20 GB per month. 6 hours a day of watching videos from places like YouTube = 25 GB per month. Watching 50 1080p HD movie trailers per month = 5 GB. General websurfing that doesn't involve activities already mentioned and using e-mail maybe 20 GB a month even with a family of 4. Total = 225 GB. And you still have 25 left to use.

Yes warez is ILLEGAL and why should an ISP have to provide people doing illegal things the bandwidth to do those illegal activities?
