To put this in perspective, I'm in Japan. I have 2gb net, and I use more than 1tb regularly.

My wife watches a lot of Netflix, YouTube etc, I play a lot of gaming. Running at 60+GB a pop for some of these games, plus mods.

I also stream TV and movies while I code(I work from home most of the time), invariably I'm on a Skype call with video to two or three people while coding too(it's fine as long as I keep the iPad volume down for movie/TV).

That's with only two of us. I'd hate to imagine how much data we would use if we had two teenage children.

When I was in Australia, 1tb was very difficult to use, now that I have this much speed available and we're use to so much on demand, it would be mind numbing to have to micro manage it.

Oh for the record, that costs me approx USD $50 too. (Maybe 60, I'll have to ask my wife).




I'm not sure where to place your comment. You use a lot of bandwidth, all the time. Are you proud of that? I'm not judging; I just want to understand what you are claiming.


I'm saying that 1tb of data, once you have the speed available, runs out very quickly.

If we can run without caps in Japan, there is no excuse for your isp's.
