How often does a Linux distro come out? I'd be surprised if there were 30 gigs worth of Linux distros released each month! 
I want to download game demos & they're over a gig each!"
I personally believe the people that D/L over 30 or 40 gig per month are just leeching warez & should be big enough to admit it instead of the old "Linux Distros" chestnut.
And for those who say "But I up/download pictures & large documents to my work"- get a business connection & pay the relevant price for the privilege.
@ Martikus-My post wasn't aimed at you directly, more at the point you made about people who download "arge game demos"etc. 
 to the site btw.  |
sorry to go back to an old posting but i haven't been to the forum for a few days and wanted to reply. I actually did go over 30gb the other month. And yes it was legitametly with the beta of world of warcraft, a free trial of everquest, an everquest 2 beta, the matrix online beta and several other beta test. i also subscribe to official music download sites and yes i did download a few linux distro's as i have 2 machines and was looking at setting up an old 486 pc as a firewall box for the other system. Now i'm the first to admit this was not normal usage, it was a one off. most monthes i use about 9gb at the most. All my point was that i would prefer a monthly limit rather than an inforced daily limit as a daily limit of 1gb will not let me enjoy beta tests as much as i do. i think that the caps are a good idea it will get the leaches away from NTL, and improve all the other users service. Just want a monthly total cap thats all
