Wow. Surely that's going to change, ISPs in the US can't keep up with shitty limits like that. The Xbone I ordered for xmas has a download code for Forza 5 with it - according to the box it's a 45GB download. That'd  take 2 months on your ISP (assuming virtually no other internet use). 

Internet in the US really is shit. How much do you pay for that? And what speed?

I've always refused to go with an ISP (or plan) that has a cap on usage, just simply because I download too much.

I've had friends raving about Fibre and how cheap they got it, but with a 40 GB cap. What's the point? A few HD films and I'd have that cap smashed.

Whilst I don't think I get amazing value for money, I think £39/month (70 CAD) for pretty much unlimited 152 Mbit cable broadband isn't too bad. Fibre looks to cost around £36/month (65 CAD) for "unlimited" 72 Mbit.

I'm unlikely to be downloading any 45GB games, but a couple of 4GBers, a new linux release, updates for 4 linux systems (including my android tablet), and a few hours of Corry and sundry other videos by Mrs.D add up. Over 25G they charge $2.50/G.

We were grandfathered at 60G (which more than covered our needs), until we weren't. Greedy bastards.

Canada. ~$45 8Mb down/1 up

Is that with Rogers? So called because their customers feel like they've been rogered.

Yup. :-((

I thought Three was unlimited?

We pay about that for ADSL, (£15 for the broadband, £10 to rent the phone line), and we are currently etting about 13 Mbit down and 1.5 up.  Used to be mroe like 17 down but the line went shit about a year ago, when they built a new health centre between us and the telephone exchange.

And there's no usage limits.

just checked with my ISP, it says ~
"This month you've used 286.23GB"
quite pleased mine is unlimited

(much video streaming, considering giving up TV altogether)

This is from my laptop and Sabnazb.  There are 3 more laptops and two desktops in the house. And my webserver.

I have unlimited data, 25/5 from Comcast but I'd like to go with a 50/10 at some point.

Router stats since I got a new router

I must admit, that made me chuckle.

Usage for December 124.33GB

Seems I am a lightweight.

Also blue. Fuck rich text editing.

My router says 182GB received, but neglects to tell me if that is the WAN side or all network traffic.

All the cool people use blue text these days!

Lies.

That's impossible on dial-up.

(giggle)

Well according to our account information, for November we used 100Gs of 250G. However, they're not enforcing their cap. It doesn't say why, just they're not enforcing it.

We top out at around a 105MBs per second for $65 a month. We use Basic Talk for our phone, which only runs us $12 a month. Any TV shows or movies we want to see we watch on Netflix or on the web.

When you consider most networks have their own sites where you can watch their shows, and places like Netflix at $8.99 a month, plus RabbitTV at $10 a year, I really don't see why anyone gets cable for actual TV anymore.

Like I told my neighbor, pay for a good internet speed, and if you get what you pay for, you can get Basic Talk for phone and you don't need cable for TV entertainment. It'll save you a fortune.

Back when I had one of their bundles, Comcast phone was $45 a month and the cheapest TV cable was like $30 for less than a dozen crap channels, without internet. They probably cost more now.

I'd rather find my TV and movie entertainment online, then I can watch it on my schedule, and depending on the site, without commercials, plus it won't cost me any extra for it. High speed internet takes care of it all, and costs me half as much. :)
