Forget the CAP, what about the Packet Loss!!! 20% packet loss = can't do any international.

Pings = 150ms higher
Packet Loss = 20% or more


Magically at 5AM it is all fixed, but by 8AM it is broken again! This happens every single day. Every. Single. Day.

yeah i'm sure you'll be downloading Linux every month. even then it's just 700MB, you'll still have plenty of quota left. just plan ahead if you know you'll be downloading something big. or stop being a poor ******* and just order the CD.

as for video editing, i'm sure the cap for the SOHO plan is going to be different than a home user. if you're running a business on a home internet plan, well it's your fault if you run out of bandwidth.

and stop being a downie. if i was mindlessly downloading illegal stuff, i'd be pissed off with the rest of these retards here.

Speaking of retards, that is one of the most retarded comments I have ever read.

Get your calculator out and do the math. Just average streaming video, browsing, and gaming will exceed 10GB per month. 1 hour of MMO alone is over 50MB. Average streaming video size is 40MB for 10 minutes, and that is NOT HD. HD video is double the size, or 80MB. I'm sure one with such a limited mental capacity such as yourself can quickly come to the realization that the goal here is for TM to save on international/backbone bandwidth. The lower the cap, the more money they save.

If I ever see such an ignorant and foolish comment from you again, I will not hesitate to poke holes in your flawed logic. hmm.gif

But even its Liberty plan, which costs $69.95 and offers 12GB a month - after which the extreme speed is slowed to the speeds of last century - only allows you 20 hours of video watching a month, provided you do nothing else. That's about 45 minutes a night.

No wonder so many people do their YouTube watching at work.

Had the US and rest of the world had similar practices, requiring users to carefully watch their megabytes, YouTube and similar services would never had been conceived, let alone put into practice. Perhaps the carriers would have hosted content, under the cap, but then we would be in a world where they decided what we saw rather than the demonstrably better one where that choice is truly free.

Yes, exactly.
