I subscribe to MLB.com to receive out of market games (as my favorite team is from a different part of the country). The service claims to be 800 Kbps. A typical baseball game is 2.5 to 3 hours in duration and I watch almost every day. I estimated that a single game could use approximately 6 Giga bytes. Then there is all the other uses of Internet connectivity.
I have never used P2P and have no plans to, but I believe that I would stress the 250 GigaByte limit on a regular basis. (And it could be worse, I could have selected the 1.2 Mbps service.) |

800kbps * 3600 seconds per hour * 3 hours = 1GB not 6GB. In fact you could stream that 800kbps stream 24/7 for the whole month and you would go over the cap by only 9GB.
there should be some sort of quiz proving people have a calculator before they post. |
