I got AT&T DSL in December just to run torrents 24/7 and I used over 800 gigs of bandwidth in 31 days and they did not say anything... While Comcast terminates you for using 250 gigs a month...
I have Comcast and AT&T DSL right now. I use comcast for gaming and dsl for downloads/torrents.
I have downloaded over 2 TB (2,000 GB) of data with Time Warner Cable residential in a month... not a peep from them.
Also upload an average of more than 300 GB of data monthly. There's lots of "Linux ISOs" to push around, don't ya know?
The grass ain't lookin' so green over there in Comcast land... sucks to be you guys...
It's probably the most definitive proof out there that the "bandwidth crunch" is a myth... because with all my constant downloading/uploading, I never see any major speed decreases. I always get around my connection's rated speed.
Surely Time Warner's not giving all my heavy usage priority over my neighbors? You'd think if it was affected other people... I'd notice a shared speed decrease as my traffic had to compete with their traffic to squeeze through the same pipe. Yet... nothing.
