Its not necessarily where he's putting it... When I'm working on the computer, I have WinAmp running, streaming one of several 128k shoutcast streams, and this runs probably 2-4hrs a day on weekdays, and 6-8hrs on weekends. In fact, on weekends, the computer stays on continually, and even if I'm not -at- the computer, the stream plays as background music for the house. I also play in SecondLife, which downloads a LARGE amount of data, comprised of texture bitmaps, and the like.. I don't download a lot of other stuff, just an occasional Linux distro DVD or CD.
Up to this point, I've not paid any attention to the amount of data I'm sucking, but seeing that Comcrap et al are starting this b.s., Cox, my ISP, can't be far behind.
I guess its time to install some kind of monitoring software to get some idea of what I'm downloading in a given month, so I don't get blindsided by one of these undisclosed 'caps'....
