yippeee! Didn't get extra 1K in bill this month and no mention of usage too...

[jDk]

I have restricted myself to download only exceptional movies and games (unless bought from Steam or downloaded via torrents). Usage is well under 150GB. But with the brutal load shedding these days, I doubt I'll even cross 100GB this month

Last month I was very close enough to hit 300GB...on 2mbps. These power outages seem to be putting breaks for me

Faisal! You are the boss
You are doing justice with every penny you pay for broadband.

^ Your uploads aren't doing well.

I used to easily go above 400GB on my LDN 2mbps. But lately i too haven't been downloading much. I'd hardly be hitting 200GB now...

waste waste waste of 10mbps connection

^ He has a 10mbps connection? Well then that's definitely a waste. I could download so much of HD por- i mean movies with that speed.

I have seen a lot of people obsessed with downloading and uploading pointless stuff they never need. And downloading 1080p HD movies instead of 720p for measly 23" monitors while watching from 4ft away.

Speed isn't necessarily just so that you can keep downloading 24/7. It's not even a dedicated 10mbps you're buying where not utilizing it would be a waste. It's a residential 10mbps. And being able to download/browse/stream quickly on demand is much more important for some than how much they download.

I don't upload, I have enough TB's on my accounts to use for the next 3 if not 5 years.
