Re: These are the kind of caps...

i saw people account with 4000gb of download per month and ~90gb of upload in quebec, canada

With a 10mbps connection that's 24/7 doing the 10mbps cap, in download...

Not until you see something like this that you understand WHY they want to put CAPS.

Those guy were paying 65$/months for the usage of around 60 other subscription and saturatuing heavily the network!

A 10Mb connection downloading at its advertised speed would fall about 750GB short of 4TB in a one-month period...

I would understand this argument if ISPs were putting caps on users who were actually abusing the service. Downloading 100GB in a month on a 10Mb connection is not abuse. It's a way for lazy ISPs to pull in more money without having to expand the capacity of their network.

Not to mention the fact that ISPs have a tendency to hide what their caps truly are. This information should be readily available to users when choosing a service provider.

Even I think 4TB in 1 month is just a joke.. Those people need to get a life outside of their PC... I only download what I want, and I don't hoard digital content like some fucked up pack rat nerd who has to download everything that is available on the Pirates Bay. It's because of people like that who ruin everything.
