Re: Still too low of caps

My dial-up can do that in less then 4 hours.

50 * 1024 / 60 / 60 / 4 (KBps) = 3.55 hours

Theoretical max of 53.3 kbps = 23985 KB max download per hour of dial-up, so ~ 23.4 MB per hour.

(For the record that comes out to almost 17 gigs in a 30 day month, a 10 gig cap would be a joke. this is the 21st century and 5 GB is the best we can do?)

No reason why they can't have at least a 20 GB cap. 20 GB is 8 kbps over 30 days. Now if everyone using 8 kbps is going to overload the system then something is wrong.

instead of overage fees Verizon should do like satelite does and just throttle the speeds down to around dial-up. worst case scenario someone would use 36 GB a month. Big deal.
