There is only one ISP in my area and these are the plans available:

I'm currently on a plan that they don't offer any more but I have 7.0 down, 0.5 up, and 100gb cap per month. Always end up going over slightly but so far they have yet to charge us for it. Living in the middle of nowhere ftw.

I have a 8 m/bs speed, but since I don't control the account my dad does, I'm guessing we have unlimited.. I know that because once he got a new computer, he downloaded all his 113 movies.. it took like 6/7 days (i got to beat dark souls in that time). Though we are paying like 200 dollars per month. so I guess that what you can expect

$200 for 8mb/s, US Internet is expensive.

I'm not 100% sure, I'll check the speed now and see what it is while I'm home alone

I use a lot, but I don't have a data cap.

I was randomly messing about and saw this, does this have anything to do with how much I used?

I cant use of 250, because even with 2 routers, internet is expensive. 75 bucks for 12/1 100 on peak 100 off.  70 bucks for 5/1 50 all up -_-

On average I use 12.2TB, sometimes up to/more then 60TB a month.

This is total bandwidth so both up and down.

What the hell do you do with that much traffic? Are you hosting a file-server and websites or something?

Well you never been to Ethiopia. You have to have a gold mine to afford a decent internet connection.

Terabytes?? I use way over a terabyte per month. I probably download about 100GB+ PER DAY! Some days a bit less, some days a bit more. I have a file server setup on my local network because I download so much. Actually, I need to pick up a few more HDDs to add to the server, because its running out of space. It has over 20TB already.  

 

But I need to start cleaning it out too though, a lot of the stuff on there is old, and can be deleted.

Who are you getting 300Mbps from? BT?

How can you download that much in a day? What's your Internet speed?

I'm on Fiber. I forget the exact speed, but it's the second package that FIOS offers. In a few weeks I'm upgrading to the most expensive package.

But I download full Blue Ray movies, huge games from PSN and other places, software, etc..

You have to think, some full blue ray movies are over 20gb in size.

And I download a lot of games for my son. Not to mention I am always online. If I am awake, I am online. And my dedicated server runs a Web server and game servers, so that takes up a lot of bandwidth too.

When I upgrade my fiber package, I'll be building another dedicated server too. I wish I could get more speed then Verizon offers. But Verizon fios is the only Fiber isp in my area. And fios just came to my area not to long ago.

I'm on a 256 kb/s connection, yet manage to use over 500 GB a year.

Impossible.

 

256kbps for 1 month at its maximum rate 24 hours per day is 6.57*1011 bits, or 82.13GB.

Sorry, I meant a year.

About 1000MB is one GB. 

 

Uhh? so if someone has 500GB.. that means he gets 500,000MBps in speedtest.net ?

No, bandwidth is the amount you transfer NOT the speed you transfer at.

No, bandwidth is the amount you transfer NOT the speed you transfer at.

The proper definition of bandwidth is the range of frequencies used by a communications signal.

 

Capacity is measured in bits per second. So the capacity of your connection is whatever speedtest.net (or the transfer rate) says. Using the word "speed" to measure communications is dumb. Speed measures time and distance, so how can a telecoms link have a speed?

 

The title of this thread should be "How much internet traffic do you use/consume per month?".

Speed measures time and distance, so how can a telecoms link have a speed?

Well, a link has both a frequency it operates at and the number of bytes that can be communicated per clock cycle, so a link has a 'bitspeed'. The first term in this product is a function of how far the transmitting station and the receiving station are away from eachother, so the link can definitely be characterized by a 'speed'.
