Question of the Day: Have you ever been to an airshow?
The article is a bit off ... it looks at belgium and claims that this is the 'global trend' ... im sorry but if you make a generalization for 'global trends' you need a bunch of other countries to prove your point ... so not enough evidence in this article to justify its point.
the article does not have a point ... you can't end a article in a quotation and expect it to be a conclusion .... lol ... is the point that South Africans are treated fairly? Or is the throttling speed too low by isps? Or is the caps before throttling too low? .... can somebody explain it to me?
in anycase, the topic of fup is the same .... companies make one up, customers moan about it, it gets written on this forum like all the other complaints ... in the end customers want the fup cap to be higher; isps make a new fup up without listening to customers .... and the cycle starts over again
the very least isps can do some reporting on 'how well' you are keeping to the fup on user account information ... show the amount of bandwidth that lands you in the 'top 50%', 'top 20%', etc ... then i will know its not a thumbsuck formula
... honestly its like isps are too slow to react to customers

your math is off :/
more like 33gb per day.......
Most of us would struggle to achieve that..........
how is your maths?
300megs x 30 days = 9 gigs.
more like you need to do 34 gigs a day to get to 1tb... works out to 1.42 gig per hour... 24.27 megs a minute... or 0.4 megs a second...
pretty much maxing a 4meg line, or if you like me, with a 10 meg line, you only need to download for half a month at full speed to get there!

Something funny with your maths ( 300meg x 30 days = 9000meg ie: 9Gigs. ). You meant 30Gigs a day maybe?
*EDIT* Curses , late
Over a month? Try more like 33GB per day.

yeah, how's your math?

average month / total ~ 1024 / 30.437 gigs = 33.64 gigs per day
