I just went over my bandwidth cap last week, which is 250gb, 3 weeks into the month. Now please if you think 250gb is a lot (or maybe it is and this is a random occurrence for me) try these statistics
15 HD videos a month
10 hours of youtube
60 hours of netflix
streaming twitch not stated, but I can only assume it is similar to youtube.
Think, 2 hours of twitch at night is 6x my limit now!! Ahh!
I guess twitch is going out the window, as 350gb is the next step (but still not enough), and anymore requires a business internet which starts around $200/mo. Ouch!
Netflix and HD movies will now be under the watch of a bandwidth monitor which I will be downloading shortly.
FUCK YOU SUDDENLINK!

Damn, that still exists as a thing? That sucks balls, man. My internet might be slow but I'm free to d/l whatever the fuck I want.
PS I also had Time Warner for years and they never had d/l limits.

Comcast does it and suddenlink piggy backed onto the third party that comcast uses.

Comcast does that in CA or something? My comcast in WA doesnt do such thing and bandwith cap sucks balls man. I probably use like 500 - 1.5TB per month

Heh, I have Time Warner and we don't have a cap. Never heard of capping in the sense we have here. I've always heard of throttling your speed back after you hit a certain limit though.

AT&T tried putting on a cap on ours, it was 50GB.... 50... GB... I use 50GB in a single day. I wasn't having none of that shit. I called them and since they never even gave notice about the cap I told them I was gonna sue for illegal change of service and charges (obviously I was full of shit and don't know a damn thing about law) and the guy on the phone freaked and quickly removed the cap.
If they give you no prior notice about caps then you can just yell loud enough until they remove it. It worked for me. but then again its was 50 fucking GBs... nonsense.

Suddenlink is the oI use now but, DSL and cable are the only options in my area and they both have 150gb or 350gb bandwidth caps!!
Don't forget, to get higher bandwidth caps my per month charge would be anywhere from $100/mo to $300/mo

Sounds like you just got the short end of the stick because of where you live.

After downloading networx it looks like I must have watched an insane amount of videos because it take hours and hours of video for it to reach that, and if it does, I can just go up one step for $15/mo more but that would be the final cap at 350gb. |

Why would they even care anyway? Not like there's any extra labor that goes into leaving you the hell alone to browse and download at your leisure.
One of the few opportunities in life to be a hero by not giving a shit. Always take those.

It says as its primary reason was 1% of the users of their internet were consuming 20% of the load of the internet. Hmmm, BULLSHIT!
