In theory, if the line speed is at a constant 2048 Kbps (256kb/sec) then you would clock 66.3552Gb in three days. :D

In a year, you would have clocked 8073.216 Gb!

315639 2005-01-20 07:18:00 Hmm we are forgetting the upload as well at 192kbps. Are these new plans asymmetrical or will the 192kbps slow the download speed to 1856 kbps? E|im (87)
315640 2005-01-21 00:42:00 If it makes you feel any better Lo, I got capped today. :( No idea what my usage is, the stupid usage meter is down. Oh well another 5days of this ahead :annoyed: E|im (87)
315641 2005-01-21 00:45:00 5 days to go eh? Beats a month though, doesn't it? Still... I'm managing to pull down my "linux distros" at a measly 6kbps. Heck, if I'm capped, I may as well still download whatever I can!!

Lo.

315644 2005-01-21 01:52:00 I know someone who is up to about 100GB!!! for this cycle and still has about 1 week to go! No cap in sight yet :thumbs: and not one piece of it legal either most likely!
They even had to buy a DVD writer as they ran out of room on their HDD :eek:
Maybe next cycle Xtra will keep an eye on them :cool:

315645 2005-01-21 05:43:00 can isp's find out what you are looking at/downloading? Prescott (11)
315646 2005-01-21 07:51:00 can isp's find out what you are looking at/downloading?
W.TF might be able to answer that. I think they at least keep logs of every connection to every IP address you've made? No idea if they keep a copy of everything you've ever downloaded, that would require thousands of terabytes of storage?
