That's basically constantly full out 1000Kb/sec since the beginning of the month. That is going to involve some crying next week.

Well, i know i am going to be slowing down around 800GB +- since i reached that and didn't get throttled. Am the guinea pig here guys, relax :D.

Am so lazy to update with usage so expect it sometime this month :p.

This usage is browsing, YTubin' and grabbing my usual dose of itunes rips of tv shows recently out. The Sopranos 1080p to replace my 720p versions :p. Am QoQ (Quality over Quantity) kinda guy :).

Only crying is HDD space running out, there is never enough to archive but always enough time to watch ;-).

No need to archive with Netflix. You should try it.
 
Yes its hidden. Still... it tell me, video is stuttering, pls turn down to lower quality on 4mb :(
 
hi, i have 2mbps uncapped and was a dedicated streamer:) i watch hulu (coutesy uno telly) but somehow i can never watch medium and high quality anymore? anything changed? below is how it streams to my pc

i've attached my speeds when i'm streaming. it all seems very jittery and i'm not getting anywhere my line speed while streaming?streaming.PNG

is this normal? i'd expect less spikes when streaming or at least more consistent high spikes...
