I don't think I would survive in Canada. I set up Rainmeter to monitor my internet usage a week ago and I am at 68 GB Down and 2 up (I don't have anything torrenting, so I'm can't seed). EDIT: I'm at 69 now.

We have everything in Canada, except decent ISPs :canada: Well we have Teksavvy, but that's only for the west, east only gets Bell and Videotron :saddowns: Oh and I forgot, the 2 GB cap is for their lowest plan (256k I think), their "intermediate" plan gets a 60 GB cap.

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;27804155]Most of the people won't even go over that bandwidth cap, why have it? That +20GB you might download after reaching the bandwidth cap doesn't even cost them a single cent. In fact, a customer downloading 1GB and another downloading 1TB per month costs the same for them. Data (or Information) =/= Electricity, gas, water, fuel, etc.[/QUOTE] It's a great way for them to suggest a higher subscription to you. Be glad you have a cap people and not a FUP(Fair Usage Policy) like I do. In short the can advertise it as unlimited but they start to bitch when you use to much. The problem? There adverts don't mention there is a FUP. There entire site and everything refers to the FUP for limits and etc. The FUP itself (as far as I can find) is some rules made up in 2006 placing it around 10 GB a month, of course it isn't 10 a month anymore. If they decide you went over it (and you don't know when that is) you get a warning. 3 warnings is getting kicked out(and there like the only company giving cable television here so bye to TV to). So yeah there is around 120 after I went over it twice with like 100%.

Does comcast limit bandwidth or anything? We could switch to them and get better speeds for cheaper, but I've always disliked comcast.

I doubt we'd use 600GB but my brother is a huge torrenter, still doubting it's above 600GB a month. Should I switch? I currently get about 10 Mb/s download (1.2 MB Download) and 1-2 Mb/s upload. It's horrible!

Content I just remembered: 5 years ago, a friend of mine has gone 10GB over his bandwidth cap. His mother told him to not to download anything because they were on a quite expensive ISP temporaly. At the end of the month, they received a letter telling them to pay $1000 due to going "extremely" over the bandwidth cap and they "could've damaged their systems because of the extra load". I'm still puzzled how he managed to go over the 5GB cap with a [i]wireless 0.1/0.0000000000000000000001Mbit/s[/i] connection.
