Lol,i dont really use caps.
Im currently in Sydney and i find the implementation of cap internet has always been nothing,but a nuisance,as i always need to share with people. It is because it's way too small,and,one thing to note,i rarely torrent or p2p. I can say i solely use the internet for gaming and study related stuff. I used a lot of Steam and buy games frequently from it. A typical AAA game would take like 5GB on average and can go up to 15GB. What will happen on next few years as games get larger and larger, 60GB isnt sufficient. The Australian ISP will never bother changing it.Lets hope the Australian Broadband Upgrade will yield better ,more reasonable and fairer internet packages for people.
I agree with the fair usage policy,but the cap is way too low. I know an American ISP that also have capped internet,they lowest cap was like 200GB and thats what i call decent. 60GB for RM149 is ridiculous,also for such a high speed internet.
Besides, TM Nut's implementation of capped internet is 2GB a day,once you exceed it,it's capped for the rest of the day. Thats even ridiculous.
60GB is enough for a person,but what happens it's shared and someone frequently abuse it? Hang that fella? Thats when the cap internet become a problem. I expect it to happen a lot among Malaysians too,especially those torrent kings.
To be honest, I don't really mind the caps, I don't get it how ppl could have use up 100gB, back in Melb for 3 years , was using Optus ADSL 20gB peak and 40gB offpeak shared between 3 ppl. I had like 10gB, 1 friend have 20gB and the other guy had 40gB quota, manage using Kerio Winroute firewall so we could monitor our usage through individual account (my pc was the server).Im currently in Sydney and i find the implementation of cap internet has always been nothing,but a nuisance,as i always need to share with people.

Hardly even reach 60gB most of the time (exceptional case when there is a new anime, new drama or new episode for all of us individual needs)
For gaming data usage (based on 3 years been there) , 15hours MMORPG about 1.xgB+ , FPS such as battlefield 2 , around 1.5gB(5-8 hours, can't really remember the exact value) , and with occasional movie download (<5, 350MB -1gB), 10GB cap last me a month time.
Sometimes we even need to find stuff to download as well to reach our full 60GB cap, of course we won't download those HD or Blueray stuff which takes up alot of bandwidth. Usually we control our usage until the last week of the month before starting massive downloading.
I rather TMNET have these caps (or maybe put it higher abit to cater to those so-called heavy downloaders to 100GB as a starting package) and upon exceed, slow to 56Kbps until the rest of the month.
Get rid of the crappy daily usage cap based and give us a monthly based cap, not all of us downloading everyday and also to those complain that they have to download games, do you buy games online everyday and download on everyday basis. How many games you could play a day
.I prefer TM fix their routing issues, give us guaranteed speed and not just best effort basis and also ensure there is minimal downtime (fine with the international natural disaster stuff but at least local connection won't go down as well which is happening currently). No freaking throttle here and there , just cap enough
