O.P. Upgraded net speed
Out of nowhere my parents upgraded my net speed from 300k to 1Mb. i shouldnt be complaining but now i got a 3Gb monthly allowance where i had unlimited broadband on 300k.
What i wanna know is how much can 3Gb a month do?
bearing in mind, i play games online and download torrents and other BIGGGG files

RE: Upgraded net speed
Well i've just finished downloading an 8GB file, so 3GB would be no good for me.
It depends on what you download, if you download TV shows, then a 40 minute episode is about 300MB, so you could download about 10 episodes a month.

RE: Upgraded net speed
I had 1/2 mb connection on Sunday, on Monday, BT [who will only be my ISP for 3 more weeks, they are really rubbish when it comes to bandwidth] upgraded my internet connection top 2.2mb which is double what they were suppose to upgrade me to in March. So I am happy. The ISP I am changing to gives me the same speed, just no bandwidth limit.

i was thinking that, im on NTL too, however they told me they're not monitoring bandwidth until they devlop a program where you can track it yourself... i've used more than 3gb in a week when downloading files so you should be fine for now  |

RE: Upgraded net speed
Meh I'm sure I read that it was basically.. 3 Gigs is a guideline and as long as you don't go wayyy over it, you should be fine. I've been trying to keep to it.. kinda.. but my downloads are increasing a bit now as is my online gaming so 3 Gigs is a little too little now.. Might go bug my Dad for 2 Mbit connection instead  |
