Capped vs Uncapped?

Even on uncapped I used to do about 2-4gigs a day. And that 4gigs/day to me is heavy usage. I dont understand how people can habitually keep up a monthly download amount of 150gigs+. How is there even time in your day to get though all that, and space for it all too? Like digital hoarding.

Netflix, YouTube, Steam, MMO's, Spotify, porn, etc.

Very easy, really :p
 
I tend to watch 20min to hour long vids, and they range from 250Mb, to a gig a piece. 1080p is a killer son.

With Netflix, what do you stream at? I never managed to get anything decent, so I canceled :( Was terrible.
 
Personally I am on Business 4mb uncapped and I feel its a waste, the most I've used was 155GB but on avg my usages ranges between 60-130GB a month. I reckon a good quality capped account is the way to go if you don't want to be shaped and throttled into oblivion.
 
My usage is pretty low. Used to be on uncapped but then I checked my usage and realized I hardly ever go above 40gig a month. So I migrated to an Afrihost 4mbps/50gig bundle (cheapest capped you can get, btw). Only had to top up once since then. I do have Netflix, but it is mostly for Kid 44 and youtube I only use for cat clips and music vids.
 
You kind of have to go unshaped and unthrottled if you share the internet with others. Like if I was playing game or watching something online and someone checked emails on my iPad, I would be screwed! :D
 
Eish, lots of folks with low usage ....... a capped account makes sense if you're in the 40-80gb range I suppose. I just couldn't get by with such little gigs, heh
 
I was doing over 500Gb a month on Afrihosts 10Mb uncapped. Was never throttled, or shaped. Moved from Mweb, because every month I had issues.

Afrihost was R895 all inclusive. (Had to cancel due to me moving to an area that has no phone lines)
 
Can't wait till I get my damn ADSL installed.

Uncapped + Unshaped Afrihost account on a 4mb line maybe 10mb if the budget allows it:)
 
Telkom offered me the biggest bullshit offer in history when they told me there are no cables to move my old line to my home... they want to give me a 3G connection with a 10 gig cap for 400 bucks a month.... clowns...
