If anyone know a good unlimited bandwidth ISP in England do let me know.

We need to start a worldwide movement on this.  This shit isn't rite and I quote:
Last year, while urging Internet users to sign our petition against the Internet Blacklist Bill, Berners-Lee wrote this about the principles that underpin his project -- and that make the work of Demand Progress and its members so important:

"No person or organization shall be deprived of their ability to connect to others at will without due process of law, with the presumption of innocence until found guilty. Neither governments nor corporations should be allowed to use disconnection from the Internet as a way of arbitrarily furthering their own aims."

They're instating the cap now, precisely because it doesn't affect a lot of the population.  If it did, there would be too much outrage, that might be bad for business.  But in the next 10 years, the caps will likely be affecting far more than 2% of the population, but since it's something people were eased into, they won't complain.  Business strategy.

Look at my statement, "Sense when does a business make a decision that only affects the top 2%?"...............

It does only affect the top 2%.  For now.

Since*

I'm sure it is.  I've been streaming movies and shows a good 6 hours a day, and haven't hit my 150GB cap.  It's gotta be pretty difficult to use that much bandwidth.

What are you streaming at progressive interlace?  I'ma brake 150 this month because I watch 480p, although this is all Starcraft 2 streams and I could be watching 1080p but I would blow my 250g cap out of the water.

Streaming from Netflix.

If I have hit the cap, they haven't charged me or sent me a warning.  And we do have a cap with AT&T.

Some is streamed in HD, others not.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it's about 4-6 hours a day, not consistantly 6 hours.  Been binging on Netflix for the past 2 months because we're dumping it when they raise the rates.  :tongue2:

It's fucking ridiculous how the internet, and consequently residential access to it, have evolved in the past decade.  Data transfer has never been faster for me using TWC wideband(DOCSIS 3.0).  Since we have our nice d/l speeds it's practical to stream shit like HD movies, but they're large files...

So in the gigantic development and expansion of the internet, we've somehow devolved into having bandwidth caps when you get 20 Mb/s.  MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY... Didn't that shit-eating woman that was on some committee(Fed. Trade Commission or FCC?) end up working for AT&T after the very position she held said it was ok for them to acquire T-Mobile.  Yay... almost cellular monopolies! The US govt. is a big fat hairy ass that's bent over, but the only thing being shoved into it is money.  What's even better is that people sign contracts with AT&T for shit like U-Verse and they can't do anything at all about shit after the fact, but AT&T can change whatever the fuck they want. 

Don't other broadband ISP's provide caps in areas where they're the only provider, but not in areas with competition?  :crankey:  What a bunch of fucking horse-shit.  Here's another great idea for the national deficit: Tax these companies when customers sign contracts imposing bandwidth caps to the point that having the customer isn't profitable.  Problem solved!

yeah, at the rate file sizes are increasing, it is only going to become easier to hit your cap. 5 years ago, brand new computer games were around 4-5gb (in my experience). today, the low end is 10gb, but there are lots of new ones coming out over the 15gb range. not that i would download 250gb of games in one month, just an example.

plus, sites are using all this new multimedia stuff that is completely unnecessary. i hate video ads with a passion, yet even sites i used to trust are flooded with them now!

then again, roadrunner just released their new 100mb/s fiber package here. if that's what the future holds, i'm willing to pay a little extra for it now if i hog up the bandwidth. as long as the cap has some breathing room, like 250gb.

Comcast has a kinda floating point cap that they don't really mention anywhere (I'm sure there is some fine print somewhere). They said that this point is 250GB/month. It seems like they only enforce it if someone is REALLY abusing the network.

I only know this because I transfered over 1TB in a single month. They called me up and basically gave me a warning.

I'm sure I've gone over 250GB/month since then but not quite to that extent. Thats why I assume its a loosely enforced rule.





fuk dude i have comcast and download at 1.9 mbs sometimes while surfing the net, im at 20 gb a day and havent had any probs yet lol.
