Capped

[EffeKtioNz]

Hey guys etek here umm I'm almost capped and I dont have any other games that I really feel like playing so I will be on tf2 but just not on the eGO servers, thats because it seems to be chewing up alot of my usage so I'm going to hang around on the Bigpond Gamearena servers because thats feel MB usage. I shall be playing on the eGO servers again when I get reset which is in 7 days. I'm currently on 96% with 411 MB left till capped. :cursing:

Cap, what is this Cap you speak of? I have never and will never have a Cap on my internet usage, I would be capped the 1st day since i seed overnight most times...I had 16hrs seeding on 1 day. This is what I think of your Cap...

FACE PALM!!!

[Sir]

So, you're like... The only person in the world with limited internet usage right?

 

[OSVG]

@ Sir no he isn't. Many Companies that also supply TV service cap their internet bandwidth. Besides torrenting, video streaming is the next largest bandwidth chewer. Since websites like hulu air shows with limited commercials, viewers prefer to watch shows online. This decreases add revenue for the TV cable provider. A solution is to cap bandwidth and charge overage fees to either a) make up for lost revenue and b) reduce the amount of 'TV' watched online.

for those of you that are wondering what he is talking about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_cap

specifically

A download quota is a restriction fixed by some ISPs to limit the volume of data downloaded by the end user during a fixed period, usually a month.

Once a fixed download cap (e.g. 250 gigabytes/month) has been reached by the end user, the speed at which they access the internet is usually throttled to a slower speed or they are charged for excess data usage.

i know there will be some wiki haters, but i can assure the part i am refering to is correct
