| Seems fishy Are the ISPs providing this data or is Cisco measuring traffic being routed from the ISPs for this claim? I am down to about 80 GB/month use. I am unthrottled/unlimited. I use Free Open Source software(Linux ftw) and do frequent audio/video streaming(most of it not HD). I also keep one small folder synced with my other house(uses less than 10 GB, at most, but usually in the MBs/month) I don't download alot of large files(maybe a few CD images and 1 DVD image per month, legally). My computers regularly check repositories and update daily, which uses minimal bandwidth 99% of the time). Most apps I download from the repos are XX MB max, most are X MB(and still many are in the KBs in size). Other than that, I browse the web , play my fav MMO(FFXI) on a console(it can use several GBs on its own in a month just updating X 2 consoles), and chat like most people. Most of my intensive work is done locally.
I do realize I utilize the internet more than most and maybe for a few more things, but I don't do anything unusually bandwidth intensive. I only use torrents and such maybe a couple-few times/month. Most of them are not huge files. I'd hate to see what daily downloaders consume. I used to use them a bit more, which is why my usage used to be much greater than 80 GB. |
