Re: They don't need 50 Mbps Right now Well, I can't say about your net usage as you can only shed light on that. But I could speculate that you would be using your bandwidth on newsgroup (UseNET, iRN), P2P (Torrent, ED2K), web service (rapidshare, megaupload, ect).
I don't disagree with you that most people don't even use18mbps hell hey don't even use 6mbps, they just get it for bragging rights and when they do use it then its for few moments they want the best it can offer. But however like you I do fall in that category of high extreme bandwidth usage but only for upstream, for me downstream is irrelevant and over 6mbps I have no usage as I don't even use 6mbps.
Unless I am cURLing a web site and putting its whole content taken as snapshot open to public I don't have no use for 6mbps even but however I would like faster upstream. Now for you even with U-Verse are you not bound by TOS/AUP of 150GB/month total accumulative bandwidth usage? is it enforced?
At this moment my bandwidth quota on my fServ says compared to few months as posted below:
Traffic: 2.813TB Tx/115.57MB Rx
UL: 25522.58/DL: 1 Ratio
said by HKM (2009-03-18) :
Download: 10-15GB/month (1.1-1.3 line capacity)
Upload: 127-129GB/month (97-98% line capacity)
This is my average bandwidth usage quota per month as it been the case for past 3+ years unchanged. While my download is low the upload is high by anyones standard on residential line. As I don't download much but I do upload alot.
So far my fServ stats are below:
Traffic: 2.383TB Tx/115.57MB Rx
UL: 21621.15/DL: 1 Ratio
PS: Yes thats TB as in terabyte the binary prefix.

| The 150GB caps are only active in a few select areas (Reno and Beaumont, assuming the latter even has U-Verse available, which is highly unlikely). |
