Hate to break it to you but 75gb is peanuts compared to what most people use. Thats just netflix and watching tv shows I missed while they were airing.
I know, and the ISPs are cashing in on it. I have a hard time justifying $45 a month for internet as it is. ISPs are moving to $70-100 per month models now thanks to this ****ing cloud based crap.

I don't know of any ISPs doing business around here, other than HughesNet, that have bandwidth caps.

Here in Topeka ATT is 150gb for DSL and 200gb for uverse internet. Cox is 50gb for basic internet and 200gb for mid teir internet. The Cox has an unlimited package for $100 per month.

They must have some terrible network in the area. Those bandwidth caps are in place to alleviate over-subscription issues.

Define most people? Most people with Netflix? How much Netflix do you watch? I can maybe see a pirating fiend piping 75Gb/mo.

they need to make a next gen connection/internet system.

4 kids and I'm a techie. No I don't ****ing pirate. also, Onlive takes up some of that bandwidth but I severely limit that.

the last couple months I've been able to get it down to 50gb per month because I found out how to turn down the quality settings on netflix to the crappiest setting.

BTW, a true pirating fiend would make my use look like absolutely NOTHING.

Decent read on the subject of caps. Blog quality.

you must be a pirate then. Don't you love closed minded people.:thumb:

Uh oh, don't look now Pants. Another pesky pirate right?;)

This is part of the problem with you guys using AT&T and Comcast for Internet - they're also cable TV providers.

I'll bet you that the bandwidth caps don't include U-verse TV, do they?

This is the whole idea behind network neutrality - AT&T and companies like them implement bandwidth limits and throttling so that your (negative) experiences with Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, and the rest gradually coerce you into consuming all of THEIR content.

It's a difficult subject because ultimately they own the network you're using and should have the right to use it however they want. However, what they're doing is extremely anti-competitive.

You guys must be watching a shit ton of Netflix. And you were the one complaining about the price of Internet Service? How the hell can someone justify low prices when they're putting 350Gb through their pipes? LOL
