How much bandwidth do you usually use per month on your home internet?

Especially with all these Steam Christmas sales, I am looking at over 100gb.
:eek:

But besides digital game sales, I can get by with under 100gb.

Not sure if Frontier has a bandwidth cap though.

no clue

This month is will be high because I had to redownload all of lil rudeguy's Steam games to his new rig. Over 24 hours of solid downloading and they still aren't all done.

I stream a ton of stuff on netflix and twitch.tv

Cox is my service provider and for my tier there is a soft 400GB/month limit. I've only gone over a few times and they have never done anything.

I don't really keep track. I watch a lot of netflix, fiance watches a lot of netflix as well, often we watch 2 different thinfgs. We both also watch lots of hulu plus. I tend to buy too much crap on steam, and I tend to download my steam stuff onto 2 different PCs (gaming PC upstairs, home theater PC downstairs) as sometimes I like to play with the eyefinity setup , sometimes I want to sit in the recliner and play on the big screen.

I would say that on average, I am probably under 100GB, but, I suspect that I have some months where I am 200+ GB

Between 200-275 (300 is my cap).

Stream a lot of twitch (average 2 hours a night probably..its background noise). Stream soccer games (nbc sports) and download tv shows (1gb average per episode). Plus the occasional download for a game

I tried to cut down over the impending caps Comcast has been testing in other markets and got to around 300-350GB a month (and apparently in one month I hit like 975GB). Sadly, that is still way over the cap. =(

I pulled easily 750gb last month from p2p clients (legal work stuff) and Comcast didn't complain a bit. The month before was around 500gb due to a reformat. When they send you those emails just man up and remind yourself you pay 200$+ to use the line the way you want to. My bill is around like 220$.... 220 x 12 = $2640. If they don't want that yearly from a customer who never calls in, I'll take my business elsewhere :)

P.S. they care a lot more about upload speeds. Upload IIRC is needed for running gaming servers and stuff.

about 200GB this month, I probably use more normally but I've been so busy with an exam project I haven't had time for internets.

Did you incur any consequences for going over the cap?

up and down depending on steam sales though :eek:
