hello fellow baldies...I've got a question for all of you...Do you have a download limit/quota with your Internet Service Provider?..ie the amount of data that you can download from the internet over the course of a month or billing period.
Here I have ADSL with 10GB of download quota with a speed of 1500/256kbps. After I excede my 10GB, I am slowed to dial-up speeds which is around 56kbps. Very aggravating. I've used it all up this month, luckily my plan renews in a few days and I've increased my quota to 25GB.Mininova here I come!!! I pay 75 bucks a month for my internet service.
Some providers offer "unlimited downloads" but if you read the fine print there is usually a limit of 25gb or more.
The company I am with are the best provider I've ever had, never had 1 outage with them and only time I've ever had to contact their customer service was to change my plan I am on.
High Speed Internet in Australia is stone age compared to most of North America and Asia

Far as I know, it's unlimited at home through Qwest DSL. We have the same thing at work with multiple computers hooked up and wireless available for waiting clients if they wish to use it.

I have Comcast too. Although they advertise unlimited use, I've read that there is a cap and that they'll cut you off if you go over. The problem is that they won't say what the limit is. Luckily I've never done enough downloading to get a warning or anything.
i have noticed that they're throttling bit torrent traffic a lot lately. They're in court for their traffic shaping practices right now I think.
