What the ****s a terrabyte?

Current isp pricing schemes are unsustainable they are there to draw in customers away from other providers and get there business.
As for downloads killing the ability to browse, dont push d/l so hard. We have 2mbit adsl in this house shared between 4 people we have a traffic shaping routing and everything gets its fair share of the b/w.
A terrabyte (TB) is 1000 Gigabytes, which is 1000Megabytes ...
If a 10mbit connection was working at 80% efficency constantly (1meg/s download) it would take a million seconds to download a TB. Which is 277.777 hours or roughly speaking 11 1/2 days.
If however you were on the university network and had a device that was able to read/write the data fast enough it would take 1000 seconds (Uni backbone is 10Gbit/s)
