Odd I'm trending in the 20mb band rather than the 30

[keepitretro]

Lol......off the scale me.

[Ignitionnet]

Ya I'm running at 1-2GB/day with the odd burst into the 5 - 10GB range. We use around about the average for a 50Mb household, last time I measured we downloaded 60GB/month or so, it'll have increased a bit due to increased use of certain online services.

Daughter uses about 500MB/day streaming, myself and Mrs use maybe 1 - 1.5GB browsing and streaming, the bursts being things like XBox Live demos or longer periods of streaming media.

EDIT: I would quite like to see the median usage as well, that'd be interesting as it'd remove the skew from people like Mr Blu Ray a Day (at least) above's outlying usage pulling the average up.

Is there a similar chart for upstream? ……and any breakdowns over hourly/time of day averages?

[Ignitionnet]

No and no, there is however a chart which shows network usage overall by time.

Did i mention that i download blu-rays.

No i did not. Think you need some proof before finger pointing matey, what if i am running a server or hosting one.

Get your facts right first. dummy!

It was a throwaway, and I thought quite amusing comment. If you've such a guilty conscience you could try paying for the stuff rather than downloading it, as far as proof goes:

Rather odd statements for someone running a server, and:

But at the end of the day that's why i pay £42 per month!

You can't upload 1.7TB in a month on the 50Mb service you subscribe to - its 5Mb/s upload is good for ~1.5TB month run 24x7 and you won't be able to do that due to upstream STM, let alone the rest.

I do love when people pop up and brag about how much they use then get all defensive when the blatantly obvious, that they're doing it with dodgy content, the only thing there being enough of being Blu Rays, is mentioned. We're not stupid ya know. No-one really batted an eyelid or cared until you got defensive about it.

EDIT: On that note if you're finished weakly protesting your innocence let's get back on topic.

It's all linux distros and game demos. Honest Guv...

[keepitretro]

Not defensive just don't like daft comments, at the end of the day u dont know me your, just a person at the end of a wire! and so was the other guy.

Keep the discussion civil.Abuse of members is against the T&Cs.

Those figures blow average usage away reported by certian adsl isps

also from those figures its clear 100mbit is underpriced and the removal of STM on it wasnt logical.

Very true so why you felt the need to get so upset by what I said is beyond me. I'll console myself with the thought that I can write English at primary school level.

Yes, every ISP will want to keep network usage as close to 100% as is feasible, many do it through business usage balancing out the lighter residential usage periods.

Pathetic insult,

would have thought someone with nearly 9000 forum posts would have had something better to say lol.....

Suprised you didn't try and fit a Yo Mama joke in as well........lol

[Ignitionnet]

I can only work with what I'm given sadly.

It's not an insult it's a statement of fact, my 9 year old has better punctuation and grammar.

Make an English course part of next month's 1.7TB+, it may lead to a better job so you can buy the Blu-Rays you're downloading instead of taking them for free from the internet then getting all offended when someone mentions it.

Now if you're done trying to pretend that you aren't upset by the person at the end of the wire that you can't help but respond to and that your at least 1.7TB per month is all legitimate let's get back to the thread topic of the average usage per month on VM.
