Yeah I read recently that the Half Life 2 style of delivery (a 4GB download) will become more and more the norm for delivering content such as DVDs on demand and games. The whole thing kind of feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back, all this new wealth of content is coming that wasn't there before, but now we face new limitations. I did some reasearch on ISP's which offer extra GB's of bandiwdth to be purchased and some actually charge ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.50+ per GB! thats one hell of a premium when you think that I pay $6 (ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£3) a month for 250GB of bandwidth on a hosting package I use. Oh well give me an option NTL please - 50GB! I will pay I promise!
