This is my pfSense firewall/router (first). I just set it up the other day when I changed ISPs. I have a 7 meg circuit through Qwest and it's been up for about a week now. So far I've downloaded 7.7 gigs. The second is for a 16 hour period.
I work from home full time and would consider myself a sort of power users but not necessarily a heavy user. I have a proxy server setup that my wife uses from work for browsing the web and IM. So during the day we're both using the internet and we tend to use it much less at night. I'm constantly using the internet. I use a Cisco softphone, VPN, and all sorts of other applications. I tend to download MSDN ISO images, I have one Mac, a Windows 7 Media center PC streaming Netflix and whatnot, and probably eight other computers in various states of usefulness around the house. Typically Windows machines that are updating at various times. I also stream Pandora all day long.
If you averaged my download out it'd be about 33 gigs a month roughly. While I hate the idea of caps and other restrictions on use, it turns out I don't even come close to the 250 gig limits you hear about for Comcast and other cable providers. -- Make money on the stuff you never use: Crowd Rent |
