I still punish my connection to the tune of 30GB per month, yet my speeds have multiplied 4x.

Remember, faster speeds wont change downloading habits, it will just make smoother Most sites cap out at 5mbps or less so when quote "free downstream speed increases" are given by a provider, its done because they know the additional bandwidth will go largely unused.

Faster speeds open the possibility for trying new things. The limiter has really been upload speed, I applaud Comcast for "taking it to the limit" ;p FiOS makes their upload look ridiculous.
I'm in sort of a similar situation w/ Verizon, I'm fine with 3Mbps tier, because the next tier up has same upload speed. |

Remember, faster speeds wont change downloading habits, it will just make smoother Of course faster speeds will change downloading habits, silly rabbit! Between 1995 and 1997 I used a dial up modem and didn't do much but web browsing and email. Then in 1997 I got a cable modem with 5mbs down/1 mbs up and I really started downloading. I used that for almost 10 years, switching once or twice to DSl and also getting a little faster cable modem speeds when comcast took over Jones cable(although my upload dropped to 768kbs)
Then in 2007 I got the 30/5 from FIOS and was hitting over 600GB a month. Now I'm on the 50/20 tier and hit 800GB to 1.3 TB a month.
So as the speed has increased I have downloaded more and more.
And I'm hoping that FIOS increases their speeds again since Comcast is coming close to matching them. |
