 me1212 join:2008-11-20 Pleasant Hill, MO | reply to booboo2 Oh, sry left oss a "0", but Still not that much, with HD video out there. |
|
 | You left off 2 "0". You can download 200 1GB files. So, about 570 TV shows at standard HDTV quality (350MB/hr), or roughly 17 days solid, of TV programs. Or roughly 150 hours of higher quality TV rips, at 1.1GB/hr. Or 142 movie rips at 1.4GB/movie. So, about 4 movies a day. Or, more Hollywood movies than come out per month in any given region, both to DVD and theater combined.
Now, that said... still not enough. Not even close. Maybe 500GB/month would be better. |

 me1212 join:2008-11-20 Pleasant Hill, MO | For what they would be paying it sould be no cap, for about $50 more a month you can get unlimited(T1), sure it may be slower(by a lot), but no caps, and its not that much more. |
|
 | Yes... but 16 hours of TV per day, or every single movie being released in a month... what else could you possibly need so much bandwidth for? There's only so many hours a day to do anything in. |

 me1212 join:2008-11-20 Pleasant Hill, MO | Mutiple HD vids(like at;east 2 people, most likely more) some VoIPs have a cloned line, so thats 2 conversations going over the net. online gaming while buffering lots of vids(HD or ED) or the ever bandwidth eating(lets say there are 2 people in the house doing this): playing halo 3 online(2 different x-boxes) downloading a large file, buffering 2 or more HD vids, and when you done and just about to watch the vids, your mom/dad calls and and the other persons grandma calls you talk for 20 mins, then watch the vids, THEN look up a recepie for dinner, ann after dinner mor e halo. Thats how a lot of people live dude, I'm not one thankfuly, but I know some. |
