Doing some quick performance tests with actual files yesterday and I easily could have creamed a month's worth of Frontier's potential caps.
I was using the 1GB test file from Optimum Online's FTP site and was downloading the entire file in less than 3 minutes. I downloaded the file about 3 or 4 times and uploaded it nearly the same number of times at about 7 minutes for the upload.
I could literally bust the 5GB cap in less than 15 minutes just messing around doing nothing of note. |

Heh I creamed that amount of data last night. It only takes a few hours of a Source game, as well as some slight internet radio and some foruming, as well as managing a game server to push me past 5GB. That, plus I have a lot of devices. Last month both of my DSL lines pushed a combined total of 320GB. This included YouTube HD, GameTrailers HD, game patches (big ones), game purchases (Steam), Windows Patches, Internet Radio, apps and YouTube on the iPod Touch, some data for a LAN party I hosted, web browsing, files for a game server (which were downloaded and then uploaded to the server, totaled 1GB download, 1GB upload), and this is just my usage alone. Others in my family pushed my usage up. |

I have a Verizon 3G modem for a laptop and my cap is 5Gig. How can a land line have the same cap as a cell connection? |
