Caps

I have went from 3,4,6,8, and 16 download speeds over the last 4 years. I used 28 gigs of downlod last month (which is average for me). I like the faster speeds because browsing and downloads are much quicker to load. It is a much better service for me. I am on and off much quicker with the faster speeds. If I were downloading 24/7 the caps would be an issue but thats not me.

Because everyone knows the only reason to have a broadband connection is to download pr0n to the computer in your mom's basement 24 x 7.

Some of us actually use the internet for other things. Personally, I can't wait for the new speeds to hit.

I don't agree with that. If you have a faster connection does that automatically mean you're going to download more stuff? I don't think it does as a rule. Realistically even at slower speeds I don't think many people are maxing our their connections 24x7 desperately trying to squeeze out every bit of data they can get. For most users it's a demand issue, not a supply issue. The total amount of bandwidth is about the same -- they just want that data to finish faster.

I would say the people who are desperate for every bit are going to need to start considering data center co-location. The days of all-you-can-eat consumer Internet are over.

Be glad you live in NC then.. wait... Boone, NC.. isn't that TWC area? ... the home of 5gb tested caps with overage charges? Or are you going to be the 40gb system of theirs...? Or, maybe it's former Bell South DSL?

Caps have always been around... they've just been defined.
