| This validates everything the ISPs have been saying. That the average user is far, far below any of the proposed caps.
That a very small fraction of users create most of the traffic. 10% of users create 60% of the traffic. 1% creates 20%.
That P2P is a HUGE part of all traffic. 38% is not minimal, it's immense.
I would bet, btw, that if you cross-referenced high P2P usage against the 1% of users who create 20% of the traffic, you'd see a very large correlation. |

| i do not use P2P except to download linux iso's and that is very rare. I still go far over 11gb. I can transfer 11gb in less than a week my friend. 11gb is less than 3 single layer dvds. its not much. we need to get out of the cd mindset. they should be worried about TB of transfer, not GB. |

Yes the developer/designer user, like you (and me by the way), who legally downloads lots of software, certainly exists. I would still bet that there's a large correlation between P2P usage and being in that tiny minority of users who create the bulk of the traffic.
Out of curiosity -- how much would you say you download? Or do you actually know (have some meter installed)? Personally I'm probably around 20GB/month, but that's a guess, and some months are higher. |

dd-wrt is on my edge router. those stats are for my wan connection. wish dd-wrt had easier to setup ipv6 support.
i've only had the router for a week and already am loving the bandwidth tracking capabilities of it. wish that it could track on an ip by ip basis. instead it just shows a general overview of all the connections. if i ever get an extra computer around here i will use pfsense to track my usage. |
