Bummer guys. It's the begining of the end of an era.

Dude, 250gb is a shitload of bandwidth. Unless you're running a bunch of pirate fileservers off your home ISP connection 24/7, you aren't gonna hit that.

Or you have Vonage, and stream lots of video and don't watch TV much. Like me. Good thing Comcast got bought out and now I have TimeWarner.

Okay...so its just per month. That's still a lot more pirating than *most* of the people I know.

Our local cable provider just recently put a 100GB cap on our service, and I doubt I'll EVER hit it. They also bumped the speeds from 4 to 8 MB and now offer 12 and 16 Mb service as well.

I'd go through that in a week :(

I go through 250GB in 3 or 4 days...

luckily I don't use comcast anymore! :p

I literally just got cable(comcast) in my apartment today. I know it's not supposed to be that heavily lopsided, is there anything I can do to increase the upload speed?

[Farbin Kaiber]

there is some dsl something or other website with all sorts of tuning tricks for your connection.

Bummer guys. It's the begining of the end of an era.

So is this going to impact your pr0n activities? :-P

Here's what I got:


I really like my SureWest connection - fiber optic to the house then Cat5 to my router.
