LOL love this :D
Should have named the thread "Who is the biggest LEACH?"

I'm on a 10 GB Telslut cable plan. Normally go over it in the first few days of the new month, but due to being capped to 64/64 over the last few months- HATING IT! I'm being good this month and only just reached 8Gb last week. :D
foonji
hehe, yeh, my plan is supposed to be throttled once i go over, but the ISP doesn't actually carry it out :D

Ah I'm so glad to hear that :P I got adsl and meant to get speed reduction after 10gig... First month I got about 30gig... Now sitting on an average of about 40gig per month... Great to hear there's others worse than me out there! Now I can continue downloading with pleasure :D

Mine's 512/128, 40 gig limit.

After 40 gig I get shaped back to "true 56k speed" .. which is actually faster than a 56k modem anyway, so it's not too bad.

Either way I sit on about 35gig per month on average. I've only gone over the 40 gig limit 3 times in the past year or so.
nider
mine's Extreme : 1500-24000 Kbits/sec, 20 Gig a month, I always go over though

im on the telstra 10gig plan also and yeah its expensive but its cable so i dont get any phone line charges and i can make phone calls for free using VOIP. i usually use the gig limit easily. did it in three days last month, and ended up getting 26 gig down overall. but the shaping wasnt very nice. especially when emule is running in the background. tends to slow thnigs down A LOT. main reason i got it was for movies and such anyhow, but its just a pain in the arse when you actually want to do some surfing and you gotta wait for pages to load.
