Re: caps? There was a study out of Japan someone had posted here that even though 100 mbps lines have been available for a while the average usage was around 35 gigs or so.
I never said it is a sweeping statement I made. But to say almost everyone who gets faster speeds will consume tons more is a bit off. |

Do I consume some more as things can be done faster, sure, it's enevitable. But the notion that almost everyone will download 4-5 HD movies per se instead of 1 is a stretch.

Um...that simply confirms what I said about people choosing the lowest tier. Only high bandwidth and bit consumption consumers will purchase those symmetrical 100mbit connections. They do so in order to *use* those speeds for significant periods of time. |

I completely agree. As my speeds have gone up, my consumption has too, but not because of the increased service speeds, but because of the availability of services themselves, like TV streaming from NBC and the like.
However, that a correlation, not a direct cause. I don't actively go out and hunt for ways to saturate my connection.
What I DO want faster speeds for are things like faster file transfers via VPN to/from the office, or faster up/download for client files and reviews. That amount of data has remained fairly static over the past couple years but the time it takes to up/download that data has lessened considerably....which is simply a matter of convenience.

shouldnt be more than 35GB so there you go |
