Faster speeds doesnt increase how much you download....it just makes your downloads faster. |

1 edit | As he said it "Allows" him to reach his cap faster not makes him hit his cap faster
and actualy he "Could" reach it in half a day
(50Mbit/8bit-Byte-conv*60sec*60min*24hours)=540,000Mbytes/day possible
but that doesn't mean he has to |

said by baineschile  :Faster speeds doesnt increase how much you download....it just makes your downloads faster. With faster speeds comes more availability as well. You were limited previously by certain speed, now with more speed, you can do more in the same time. You have not changed the time you spent doing something, you have merely changed the quantity. What the idiots at many ISPs seem to think is that all of a sudden you have more time but you will not have any interest in anything else. If I am going to school to study business, and I find all of a sudden I have the ability to do more work in less time, then I can also persue my interest in Chemistry too. See, I had interest in Chemistry all along, the thing is I did not have the free time in the day for it so I did not also do it. With more time I can do more.
Simple example of Broadband: I spent two hours downloading a 3GB demo. Now I can download that demo in one hour since speeds have doubled, therefore I can also now download the other demo as well in the same time I use to spend downloading one.(Yes, I know you can actually download more than 3GB with the previous and new speeds. It was merely an example.)
WITH MORE SPEEDS DOES COME MORE USAGE. There won't be any extra usage if you were one of the simpletons who merely payed for broadband for e-mail.
Let's say I was hosting one room of 8 people before. With the new increase of upload, I can now host a 16 people room. There really does come more usage with more speeds. |

| Heres another analogy
Even if one iota of that were true, you're still missing the big picture. You would need to pursue a degree in business, chemistry, microbiology, physics, economics, literature, accounting, marketing, advertising, get phd's in all of them (in one month time), to come CLOSE to the 250Gb cap.
I know caps have a lot of negative issues, but 250 is completely reasonable. |
