I recently got this message for the first time and was wondering if there are any hardcore internet users that go over your limits. http://puu.sh/6B4dY.png

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Data cap is supposed to be 250GB. Fuck Data caps. This is my usage.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

I have a 300GB per month cap but I get unlimited usage between 2am and 8am.

Never hit the cap.

Every loud bang is a lesson learned.

Lets just say if we had a data cap of 1 TB we'd go over every month and occasionally double it, yay for unlimited.

the only reason that im not moving for a faster internet connection is that no ISP have unlimited connections for this price.

my cap is around 60gb...a day. I sometimes get close or beyond it, but my ISP is nice and doesn't throttle me

After seeing your profile pic I think I know what I want for my next present :).

 

Back on topic. Comcast doesn't currently have limits in most of the USA. Or at least they haven't told me. There was one month I blew past 1 TB, and a couple of times I crawled past 500GB. Usually though I think we're somewhere between 100-200GB.

No data caps here. I think it's for the best anyway.

last time i had a limit it was 40GB per month. Apparently you got charged £5 extra if you went over, but we kept getting letters every so often as a warning saying that the next time would be charged but we never did. i found out it worked on a 4 month basis, so only the current month and three months previous would be checked to see if the limit was reached. So by the end of it i kinda had 40,unlimited,40,unlimited each month :P

Currently have no cap, unfortunately that means we're forever locked into a contract with these speeds:

until we change it. Slow and unlimited vs fast(er) and capped, that's Canadian ISP's for you.
