Or to look at it a very different Way - If they said (without the upgrade in Speed) - we are upping the Cap from 30 Gig to 75 GIG month - would people not be happy? Does it mean the Second they get 10mbit Connection they will rush of to a online shop and buy 20 400 GIG HDs so they can download EVERYTHING on the newsgroups, BitTorrent and the web?? All it really means in reality (or should do) is that instead of waiting 30 mins for that file, you get it in 5 or something.. last night downloaded a Mod for BF:2 - it came down at 56KB/Sec - did it matter that the connection can do 250 or something? not really..So i might as well had 10mbit - still would have taken Ages like..
Oh and
to the forum cpgod...and AFAIK they will do a staged rollout to lessen the burden I guess..
