And what the hell can you legally find that amounts to 95GB a day?
Heck - even illegal downloading would be hard pressed to need going on for 2.8TB a month!
If you even close to 95GB each month then you need to learn how to use the Internet in a responsible way. People like you are the ones causing problems for everyone else.

I think you misunderstood his point. He can reach his 95GB limit in less than a day at full speed — that limit has to last him a month.
So the question you should be asking is "what can you legally find to download that amounts to 95GB?", and then ask yourself whether you could go through all of that in a day and then be over your cap for the rest of the month. And no, with more and more media (especially video) moving to the net, 95GB isn't much…

It doesn't matter what your Connection speed is
It doesnt matter what your limit is
It doesnt matter how inconsistant your connection is
The Patch will be able to be torrented.

Around these parts (Sweden), the only limits I've seen are on the use of mobile broadband and those seem to be moving away from being limited, rather than in the direction of applying more limits.
Then again, it's been a fairly steadfast belief for the last, oh, 40 years or so, that good communications in a country as sparesly populated as this are essential and well worth the investment cost (because that's what it is: an investment, with great pay-offs). Distance is a motivator for deploying infrastructure, rather than a cost-prohibitor.

We only have ourselves to blame for dwindling freedom. We elect the over lobbied politicians that pass bills to help their college room-mate CEO succeed in his monopoly plans of ISP domination.
I wish I was exaggerating, but reality is a B***ch, It will only get worse until people get better at not being political sheep.

In point of fact you don't need to download the DVD. You could download a lower bandwidth copy and you'd probably not tell the difference. HD is typically transmitted at less than 20Mb/s at a quality that most people would be more than happy with. I record HD movies on my PC thanks to a satellite tuner and it's rare for a movie to to reach 10GB.
Just because you and your friends lack the knowledge of how to encode movies in an efficient way is a poor excuse for clogging up the global internet with your bloated files. Given that most of them are probably illegally obtained and distributed it's even worse.

So I decided to go to singularity to test the new content, which I was very sceptical about. Started the 1.4 GB download but disconnected after 400 MB. When I restarted, the clever Download manager didn't manage anything: I restarted from scratch. I don't have unlimited download bandwith and such flawed design and service is unacceptable in 2009. Guess I will be putting on a very long skill for ApoGrind, just in case I don't log in for a very, very long time...
Yes! You can have my stuff! The first one to give me the author and historical importance of the following French Verse will get my fitted CNR :
"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne, bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone".
EDIT : Wow, that was fast!! RUZE win the CNR, congratulation!
PS: Thos those of you with illimited Bandwidth, good for U. The rest of the world doesn't always have you facilities. There are a lot of people outside major US cities. Even outside the US! Wow, that is odd...
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL how about finally stepping to new millenium... 100/100 Mbps ftw...

With services such as Hulu, iTunes, Netflix and with XBox Live and PSN offering more and more media, that's actually very simple. Just because you don't know the amount of high-quality/high-bitrate media being offered over the net doesn't mean that everything downloaded is bloated or illegal.

b)How do you find time to watch 3 movies a day?
Why are you so hung up on "per day" — it's his limit per month. Are you saying it's hard to squeeze in three movies a month?

Seriously though, most people don't have 'unlimited' bandwidth as not everyone lives in the centre of an American city. Not trying to be nasty about it, but as an example I cant find a single UK internet provider that doesn't use a 'f.u.p.' (fair usage policy) that prevents large single downloads and going over an allotted amount of bandwidth per month. 
Sky "unlimited". It cost me ú10 per month as I have sky tv and phone. I get free phone calls too  My monthly bill for tv phone and Unlimited BB is ú22.

I even checked into the wireless connection through verizon's cell phone signal and it clearly states on the contract "Not for use with gaming" so there isn't even a point there.
That line in the terms was changed last year, and yes eve plays fine on evdo rev 0, rev a would be even better which is what the data cards and some phones do now.

95+ hrs to download may be a little itsy bitsy problem. Especially 30 seconds after download completes and you find the download is corrupted.
Things like that create newspaper headlines with words like 'massacre' in them. |

I live in europe my isp has a fair use policy they sent me a letter complaining about my downloading 30 gig in one day, i phoned them up and told them i wanted to end my service as having a 20mb connection and only a 30 gig a month usage was crap they apologised and i havent had a letter since i regularly dload over 100 gig a month now :)
I have a 3gb limit between 4pm and 10pm (note, prime time). My connection is Virgin 20mb which relates to approx 25 minutes before I go over. I complained to my ISP about it and their response was "Tough". My problem is that I don't have a BT line so I can't go to ADSL unless I fork out the 150 UKP connection charge just for a phone line from BT. Having dealt with BT before, I know they'll railroad me into a contract which they will then bill me 200 UKP for broken contract when I sign up with another ISP. I've been down that road before and I'm still fighting with BT about it a year and a half later with OFTEL and others involved.
Virgin recently sent me a survey asking me if I would recommend them to a friend, I promtly told them I wouldn't even recommend them to my worst enemy.

Even my unlimited 16Mb/s connection from sky has a fair usuage policy of arround 100GB/Month on it, though I've never been told I've broken it and do download quite a lot.
But regardless of this and the fact that its the test server the new patching system is utter fail.
Nobody wants to downlaod one file that then downloads another, its as bad as trying to download adobe acrobat reader, you get the file think your done, copy it to a usb key, plug it into your none networked computer and bam its not the install its the program which downlods the install... Great good job...
And the sames gonna happen with this, download the patch at work or whereever, take it home run it thining strange its only a couple of meg, and bam you must now download the full patch over your crappy internet connection even thoughyou thought you'd already downloaded it.....
Thanks CCP I can truely say no one playign your game wanted you to change this, no one, ok maybe one or two peopel but there masicists and enjoy the pain of downloading downloaders so you can downooad the patch.

Super sexy free Broadband or even sexier unlimited
and slow most of the times, i worked for sky for some time as there adds says up to 16meg and a lot of the calls i got they where likely to get 1.3meg in saying that it is fair new to the bb market i hear there are going to satellite adsl info on what this is here satellite bb also they have the fair usage policy.
virgin is also unlimited good speed but really hits there traffic speed in the day time.
worst one BT if you complain it is slow they will look at the others users in your area and cut there speed now you might think this is ok but it could be down to the complains old speed.
if you are limited conection really look in to others even if the speed is not as fast atlest that why you can enjoy the ineternet all month.
to ccp good luck with the deployment to tq.
