You could have a 128K connection and still get just over 1 GB download a day.Originally posted by Switeck+27 September 2003 - 18:28--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Switeck @ 27 September 2003 - 18:28)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> <!--QuoteBegin-SeK612@27 September 2003 - 11:03
I'm not too sure whether the limit is a good or bad thing (how easy is it to go over 1 gig with a 600K connection?) but I do know NTL were having problems here with peoples cable connections slowing really badly (and sometimes stopping altogether) and I guess the cap is to stop stuff like that
14 KB/sec all day straight = 1.15 GB
Back when I only had 128K upload bandwidth, I was uploading 1 GB/day barely.
So if you're connected to even so-so BitTorrents for 2 movies, you'd EASILY top 1 GB/day with a 600K connection. [/b][/quote]
I'm on NTL and the speed was recently improved to 150K from 128K. I can get about 20kbs on download speed. I have never tried to download more than 1gb a day though, so I have no idea what would happen. But personally I think people should be allowed to get as much as they want.
