3GB - Sufficient for me

[Hyperion]

Hi

I've had ADSL for one month now, and whilst I'm not happy with the speeds, I'm satisfied with the 3GB cap. I downloaded everything I wanted to in the first month, and still didn't fill up my cap.
The only way I can see that some of you fill up your cap, is by downloading entire DVD's, which are at least 800MB each, and others who download computer games, which are also 800MB.

For the average user, who downloads MP3's and stuff, I'd say that 3GB is sufficient, but for all you warez "junkies" I don't think it is sufficient.
I can see why Telkom has the cap in place, because if there wasn't a cap, people would abuse the service, leave their pc's on all month and download 500GB a month, thus hogging the service, and adversely affect the service for everyone else.

Now although I say 3GB is sufficient, I could maybe do with 5GB, but i still don't see how I'd fill that up.

Could all of you who download over 3GB, please tell me what you download so much of?

Thank you for your input. I agree that we all have different requirements from ADSL and some use more and others use less.

However, do not make assumptions on how other people achieve or exceed their caps. Do not try to emulate Telkom in branding people as 'warez junkies' or 'abusers'.

If you care to read some of the topics where these issues were discussed, you will see there are many more 'legitimate' reasons for using ADSL, and it's not just downloads.

Please direct me to those posts. I would honestly like to see how people fill up their 3GB.

I listen to web radio pretty much all the time. There goes a couple of GBs for a month.

Job? Hmmm. Actually, I'm a student, and really don't like Telkom, despite agreeing with their 3GB policy. I would like to not have a cap so that I have more freedom with my line, but i still wouldn't fill up a 10GB cap. What I really want from TelSKUM, is speed, lots of speed.
