sean5900xt Posted March 2, 2005 CID Share Posted March 2, 2005 My ISP has a new limit on my usage per month. They say i can use up to 80GB worth of downstream bandwith and 40 Gb worth of upload bandwith. I was wondering do I need to wory about going over the limit or is this plent. I surf the internet quite a bit, and play games online everyonce and a while. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted March 5, 2005 CID Share Posted March 5, 2005 80GB a month (2.66 GB a day) is good. Based on your average download speed of 369KB/s, you'd have to download constantly for 2 hours at max speed a day(if i did my math right) to fill your bandwidth. I highly doubt you will ever download that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean5900xt Posted March 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2005 Ok, good. Thanks for the help. And I e-mailed my ISP telling them there needs to be a way to check your network usage, and now their is on their page. I have used about 2 gigs of bandwith this month so far and i got plent to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted March 5, 2005 CID Share Posted March 5, 2005 they are not going to hit you if you go +3-5 gigs.. I get 3 gigs per 24 hours up and down.. and I am downloading all sorts of stuff.. I never get about 2GB.. and I share my connection with my room mate via wireless router.. I wouldnt worry about it.. What they are looking for is a huge jump in bandwidth which is normally associated in server hosting or movie downloading.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
