Re: LMAO 10 mbit service could download 200 gigs in 44 hours. 100 mbit service in 4.4 hours. You could blow your entire month in a hurry...but what's the point? |

1 edit | Whats even funnier is the upload. 100mbit download and a "Whopping" 5mbit upload. Couldn't even do 100/10. Sad. However, that ingenious 200GB cap @ 249 dollars. Thats 1.25 dollars GB. Classy. It's like paying for a Porsche and getting a Honda at this rate. |

| They did it for the lulz. |

| Imagine so. That or the sucker factor. I mean someone has to have a lot of money to piss away to spend 1.25 a GB. That's some high class downloading and transfer costs right there. I mean if they wanted to offer a 99.9 SLA / boost it to 100mbit dn and 10mbit up / and sell this as "Lite Business Class", that'd be a different story. However, to market this junk in its current form to home users is just hysterical. LULZ FTW. |

Some of us still have that obese mentality. 'All you can eat' then I'll eat everything until I burst. If I had 100/5 why and what should I be downloading 365/24/7?
I just saw my monthly transfer stats and it didn't reach 2~4GB! I work from home and use my internet connection constantly from browsing, streaming music to uploading databases and cgi scripts. Sometimes I use Vuze for legacy stuff (Amiga, C64, CoCo, ROMs etc) and seed the downloads for days at a time.
I'd gladly pay $250 C for 100/5. |

A better one would be leasing a Ferrari for $249.95/month with the 20 mile/month mileage limit. Sure you can go those 20 miles very fast but if you only needed to travel 20 miles in an entire month, wouldn't you be better off just getting a bicycle?
And why in the world would you pay $250 C if you only download 2-4 Gb per month? P.T. Barnum sure knew what he was talking about.  |
