I'm still confused...

You said:
100 KB/sec non stop downloading = 259.2 GB / month
300 KB/sec is a standard streaming movie/porn/youtube what not. = 777.6GB /month
500 KB /sec non stop downloading = 1296 GB per month.

Is the middle one (the 300KB/sec) also at a non-stop rate to make 777.6 GB a month, or is this just for a certain amount of them? I don't download, but sometimes I watch shows and listen to a lot of music (legally). I'm sooo cornfuzed I cant hardly thank strate... lol

For that to effect you, you would have to watch shows and movies 24/7.

I can vouch for Comcast limiting bandwidth, even though they shout from the rooftops that they don't do it.

I use uTorrent, and every time I do, my internet craps out.

They also throttle the bandwidth on torrents. Soon they will have to stop that, court mandate and all.

one of my previous service providers notified me that my internet usage exceeded their standards for resedential use. Dropped them and ended up here with comcast, guess it will be the same crap.

coppernet.com and people pc will let you know if you stay on too long, even though they state unlimited use as well
