      This got my Sister in Law over Christmas. They didn't even know that they had a cap and then they got a Steam video gaming system and went through their entire download in two days.

      A steam box would not come anywhere close to hitting 1TB of traffic in 2 days.
      Those things cannot even store that much data.

      4TB drive. It's not one From Steam. Just a dedicated Steam desktop.

          Any IPS that would send me such email would promptly receive a phone call to disconnect the service. Data caps are just about the worst thing ISP can do to its customers. I would look for another provider immediately, and have them put no data caps in writing.
          Btw, 1TB is nothing, I can blow through that in little over 3 hours, half that if I upload stuff too.

            Haha, you're assuming we have a choice. Man that's a good joke.

              Upstate NY, I have 3 ISPs I can choose from that I know of. There are more I'm sure.

                How far upstate? We have two to choose from where I am, one is Spectrum the other is low speed DSL.

                  And you think your ISP is not tracking and ready to nail you as soon as convenient?

                      They might, I've heard someone got a letter from Verizon after sending about 77TB in a month. They haven't nailed him, just suggested he upgraded to business tier.

                        Yeah, internet / cable is a complete and absurd monopoly in the U.S. I doubt he has any other realistic choice on what internet he gets. I'm sure anything would be a down grade until something better comes along like google fiber.

                          Kingston, Poughkeepsi area? That's still fairly downstate. Still a very populous area.

                            Poughkeepsie. If you exclude rednecks - most probably don't even have computers, not much of a population remains.

                              Really? That doesn't match with the Kingston and Poughkeepsie I know. I don't live there (another 80-100 miles northwest) but it's at the far edge of commuter rail into the city. Sure it's not as dense as Orange or Westchester county but they still experience some of the benefits of the city.

                              Come up my way a bit to see rednecks and real rural living. 😉

                                  I also have Crashplan to reseed. So I should make sure I get it all in this month.

                                  I'd love to keep using Crashplan but their upload speeds are abysmal!

                                    Any IPS that would send me such email would promptly receive a phone call to disconnect the service. Data caps are just about the worst thing ISP can do to its customers. I would look for another provider immediately, and have them put no data caps in writing.
                                    Btw, 1TB is nothing, I can blow through that in little over 3 hours, half that if I upload stuff too.

                                    Welcome to the US.

                                    Upstate NY, I have 3 ISPs I can choose from that I know of. There are more I'm sure.

                                    How far upstate? We have two to choose from where I am, one is Spectrum the other is low speed DSL.

                                    80 miles north of NYC. 30k town.

                                    Kingston, Poughkeepsi area? That's still fairly downstate. Still a very populous area.

                                    Poughkeepsie. If you exclude rednecks - most probably don't even have computers, not much of a population remains.

                                    Really? That doesn't match with the Kingston and Poughkeepsie I know. I don't live there (another 80-100 miles northwest) but it's at the far edge of commuter rail into the city. Sure it's not as dense as Orange or Westchester county but they still experience some of the benefits of the city.

                                    Come up my way a bit to see rednecks and real rural living. 😉

                                    Yeah, Metro North's last stop. Cooperstown area?

                                    Yep, a very small town a bit south of there.

                                      I also have Crashplan to reseed. So I should make sure I get it all in this month.

                                      I'd love to keep using Crashplan but their upload speeds are abysmal!

                                      What are you doing that uploads speeds from the CrashPlan side are a constraint?

                                        Backing up photos, music and home movies. About 4TB. Best up speed I can get is around 10Mbps.

                                          4TB total, but what kind of change rate? I never have any problem with a 10MB uplink.
