Re: 5% of users use 46% of bandwidth
To be fair that is 250GB they're talking about being the soft-cap.
I'd consider myself a heavy user but that's got to be bordering on excessive surely?

If I had a Giganews account, I'd certainly have used much more than that by now. Currently though, I'm stuck with VM's news server and 7 day retention.

Our servers at work top out at about 750Gb a day... And that's on patch day!
Around 150Gb normal data transfer. (Externally anyway)

250GB? Not really, I can exceed 1TB each month.

Re: 5% of users use 46% of bandwidth
Well i'm on 25/25 (well, it peaks at 100 for the most part) + another 25/25 (2 apartments linked up  and backup adls+2 line.
I stream some legal HD content and upload distros to servers for some sites..so its fairly easy for me to chew up alot of bandwith...but no worries, my isp dont mind

That's a lot of pings...
Seriously. What do you do that requires pulling down 1TB of data in a month?
