Is the ‘Bandwidth Hog’ a Myth? – Bandwidth hogs – Gizmodo.
Good article I would love to see the answer to.
Now I’m no insane downloader. I’ll buy an album on itunes, and I do stream video from youtube and hulu quite a bit, but at most I’m around 30-50GB of transfer/month (and yes I do keep a rough track of how much I use via Conky).
Mostly posting this just for the article to get some publicity as the author requested so hopefully some of us can see the “real numbers”. Cable companies have been ripping us off for long enough, and they need to be forced to innovate if they are going to keep charging these exorbitant rates.
