It's not downloading content I am worried about it's, Gaming. You don't realize but 6KB a sec adds up when you play online games.

Calculate now on how long it would take to add up to 250 GB with playing an online game...
16 months.
6 KB per sec =
360 KB per minute
21 MB per hour
506 MB per day
14.8 GB per month

who plays 24/7 anyways?
