Usenet or BT?

[anon]

Even my, hm, developing country has no caps.

I once had the same "question" as you, too. Asked around and was told caps are there because people are willing to pay for extra bandwidth and tiered plans, which ISPs see as a source of extra profit.

Here, the cap is not for profit. If you break the cap, you have no option to pay. Once, you get a warning, twice, and you get terminated for a year. No option to pay for more traffic or pay for the extra usage. No plans to do tiered plans either with my ISP. Cap has been in place for a few years now. 250GB total for up/down per month. No roll over.

But speeds are far Superior to the competition and its much cheaper as well, so I deal with the cap :\

Some ISP's, like mine does, have a fair usage policy.
What this really means is that after 500Gb downstreamed, they may enforce throttling on your pipe. But this only happens if you consistently go over these limits, say, for 3 months in a row.

There's really no reason for caps, the article is on here pointing out that we're paying 20-100 times the cost of our internet or some noise like that.

indeed FUP
some places its defined as "fair usage policy" and someplaces "fuck usage policy" like mine does reduced download speed to 1/8th after crossing 100GB

Nope, it's the one I'm quoting.

If you have a cap and you have usenet through you ISP does that bandwidth count since it doesn't leave network? North America is a pretty big place not everyone has caps. I usually go thru 4TB a month just on torrents.

My ISP counts ALL traffic, even traffic used utilizing its own backup service that you PAY them for. Go figure

I'm afraid that you are giving yourself too much credit and boredom too little.
