Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237    |  I EASILY download and upload more than like double your cap a month, Ren. I'll stick to a little slower download in exchange for no cap.  Not to mention, at least DSL speeds are consistent.

Car: 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (USDM) LFS Status:  Rep Power: 35 | Come to think of it, something that's almost as important to me as having no cap on downloads is having a public ip address. I hate being behind and ISP's firewall, it blows  . |

(Well short of sattellite, which has slow response times, and all the ones I have found have like a 10GB a month or less for a cap). | |

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237 | I calculated off Azureus' statistics and via that program alone, I download on average 1.2 GB a day. 20 GB wouldn't even close to cut it. And just think when I get faster Internet - I'll probably be doing 3 or 4 GB a day (that's nearly 100 GB a month).

Car: 2007 Pontiac G5 GT LFS Status: Rep Power: 0 | Not at all. DSL sucks it's slow and here they have bandwidth caps too unless you take extreme programs.. which you can get for cable too with an even better speed than the one I have |

Rep Power: 0  | Cable rules!!! I looked at my DU meter and saw that I've downloaded 150GBs since April 1. This doesn't account any of the downloading done by my brother, my dad, my mom, visitors, and my webserver on the connection! Amazing they haven't sent me a bandwidth overusage notice. Oh and I get 3.3Mbit/256kbit (measly upload but okay) |

The business DSL is $49 a month but good for backup if our T-1 line malfunctions (happens once in a while). | |

Car: 2007 Pontiac G5 GT LFS Status: Rep Power: 0 | I pay $37.90/month for my 4Mbit/s cable connection with 20Gb d/l and 10Gb u/l limit. but I could pay more to get the Extreme program my ISP offers, 4,5Mbit/s and no limitis for $59.95/month but it's not worth it for me. |

Rep Power: 0 | I'm with kte01, limits sucks. I pay from my DSL connection about 58 €/month (1Mb D, 512Mb U). If I had so strict limitations I could only surf a week or so. Best weeks overall bandwidth use is around 20-30 GB, 70% of that is from uploading. Like yesterday I only seeded Vipers torrents and end of the day result was 1,3GB. So I would be in deep shit if had a limited bandwidth . |
