We've never had uncapped stuff without paying through the roof, $50 bucks is an average 100-150 gig plan, but in places you can pay 70-90 bucks and be lucky to get 30 gig.Batfred said:
That's poor form. As I said, in the UK we expect uncapped for the monthly price of 8-10 pints of beer! I work from home sometimes and I have to download huge image files. I could fill 30Gb in about 10 days and that's before Steam downloads and Satellite TV library downloads (mmm, Sky Anytime + rules).TheComedown said:
Try to shop around. Most likily you can get a better deal.
I used to have a 12gig plan. It was okay if I got everything I could unmetred. Steam kill my internet to many times. Oh TF2 has a 200mb updates? So does Left 4 dead. FUUUUUUUUUUU. I had to choose and sometimes I would be unable to play one for a month or two because It kept happening. For some reason my unmetred server for steam wont work.
Now I have a 50gig on peak and 50gig off peak. It's so good. I don't have to watch my bandwidth be killed for the month. If I get worried I use off peak. I'm normally up and just going to bed when it starts so I start the download and go to bed.
It's funny because the new plan is even cheaper.

People without fast internet, or even worse, no internet are being overlooked. 23% of people in the U.S. still don't have internet access as of 2010. That's quite a few people. And that doesn't even include high speed. Broadband usage in the U.S. is only around 22% as of 2009.

I had bad internet for 6 years when I lived somewhere that was newly developed and didn't have broadband availability. I know how crappy it is to not be able to get the updates to play games on XBL - let alone DLC. It sucks, but hopefully in ten years or so, it won't be an issue for most people anymore.

Godammit Spain... why does your internet suck so much
I had a PPP connection that was connecting via telephony to Cleveland Ohio.
I'm in CHICAGO.
My first hop was always 200+ miles away, excluding the analog line repeaters (I know this because it's the first place I get an IP address response from that isn't '', which basically means "IM A REPEATER DURR HURR!").
