next year just around the corner oooo.. hopefully not 1st/2nd qtr hehe

in australia, normal home broadband AUD$90 per month, 500GB cap with speed over 6mbps.. download you sampai muntah pun belum reach cap..

I hope they listen and increase the limit and/or give people ability to pay for additional limit. Had first taste of DCUO update last night- 1.1GB!

Then got TF2, CS, GMod, Toontown Online... Each one also quite big, iirc TF2 update on Halloween is 550MB. Per computer. Then consider the fact that Steam games update 3-4 times a week!

And then that's across two gaming rigs, one Linux box testing using Wine, and Mac versions of the games on the Mac Mini.

And then there's the Linux update. Do you have any idea how large Opensuse Factory updates are? (hint, a full DVD worth every few months, some days only 10MB, but most days at least 200MB at least). Arch Linux and Debian SID updates are smaller, but still noticable on the bandwidth meter (Debian SID updates can often hit 250MB a day).

And then there's the Windows/Office Updates. 3 PCs (Win7 on Rig 1 and MCPC, XP Pro x64 on Rig 2). No small matter, I've seen update hit 200-300MB a month, over 1GB if there's a SP for Windows/Office (although if got SP I download offline installer image and install from there instead). Then Mac OS X- updates can reach 700MB-1.1GB when version number increment. Most other update tho is small enough- around 50-100MB only.

And that's not counting Antivirus. ClamAV on three linux boxes, one OpenBSD box and one Mac, Avast antivirus and Spybot-SD antispyware on three Windows boxes. NAV on PMG3, but that one hasn't had a new update in donkey years.

And then PS3, XBox, Wii updates...

Don't get me started about iOS/Android updates!

And all those are my own use and excludes normal traffic (online game traffic, Youtube, forums, the occasional FTP download for office work and personal work, online shopping, iPad/Android apps, etc).

What about my dad and mom use (very heavy youtube users), my Sis' use (some movie streaming app, P2P, etc.)?

I don't think 120GB is enough. Better give option to buy more.

All these won't happen until Malaysia upgrades its international submarine cables to other countries(not to EAST Malaysia) to multi terabit capacity.

A country like Australia with smaller population than Malaysia is already planning a 10Tbps cable across the Pacific called the Pacific Fibre to commence operaiton in 2014.

We should aim for even higher. 15-20Tbps to Guam-LA? 10Tbps to HK, China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan?
20Tbps to Singapore?

Cool. I just learnt something new.. Australia has around 20million people and Malaysia has 25million people as of 2008.

Hmm any news if capping started yet?

During my last meeting with the CEO it will be implemented :-) until further notice

Enjoy

what happens if you exceed the quota ?

i think only throttled if the quota already implemented.

They throttle the speed

yeah thats good. if they charge for the extra data, this would be troublesome

downloading all the geeky & nerdy stuff that i missed during m childhood like Anne Shirley, Archie 1st 100 issues and etc. hopefully done before the cap comes . note: these nerdy girly stuff will never be available legally unless we have nerd museum!

Any one know when are they gonna implement the download cap?

Thanks

How many times do you people still want to ask the same question over and over, it's been asked countless times and answered like gazillion times. If you keep track of this thread i believe at a point if it were implemented there will be voices screaming, yelling and shouting.

sure not enough for those who use pps. keep uploading/downloading
