Hmm carry the 1 subtract the 4.5 ah yes here's the answer. So all that means now is that you can get through your 250 gig cap @ comcast in 19 504.7619 seconds or 325.079365 minutes 250 gigabytes divided by 105 megabits (a second) = 19 504.7619 seconds . And I'll bet you any money they will still packet sniff your ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

In my house I have 3 XBOX's , 2 for my kids, 1 for me. Also, we have at least 3 PC's in the house, all mostly being used for gaming. My son is constantly downloading patches and things for his Warcraft, and Im always downloading game maps from our servers. One month I got to 185GB with heavy usage. Shamu, you really wouldn't gain anything upgrading to that tier, is over kill for users like us. Better for alot of data transfer users, not really for gamers per say.

I pay them for bandwidth wiether it be 60 gig a month or unlimited I do not pay them to monitor my usage. All they are trying to do is make it harder to get what you want and force the user to use there pay per services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

For most my business trips I stay in Holiday Inn properties. Of late the download speeds have been horrendous. .3 - .4 Mbps. And they have the audacity to advertise "High Speed Internet Available" Needless to say this does not help in gaming and downloading maps. I placed a complaint with HI and was told that many hotels have governors in place to restrict download speed because guests are downloading movies and HI is concerned that Warner Bros may sue them based on activity from their IP's. Do not know if that is a crock of crap or what but it is what I was told. Bottom line, goodbye Holiday Inn, hello Choice Hotels whose speeds have been better. And don't even get me started on how inconvenient it is to get to a person within HI who has some authority relative to the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
