Bandwidth restriction

I see ppl say this all the time in posts on these forums. So i got curious. where do you(who have this) live and what company? It is strange for me to hear this, as we had this back in 2000. But then it  wasn't an option anymore. I am flabbergasted(love that word^^) that this still exist. Who's the  unfortunate ppl here? 

Every time I see someone mention their shitty (and they are) bandwidth caps, they're almost always from Canada and using Bell.

250GB a month with Comcast.   
 
A couple of us Comcast folk posted our usage charts a while ago in a similar thread.  I rarely get near my cap in a 4 person household where each person has their own desktop and console.

Ok. so is this a common thing in Canada and Us? Or is this in the east aswell. I fought somebody from the us today, and he pm'd me with: Im sorry but my bandwidth are capped atm. And that got me curious :)

Living in student accommodation: Unlimited bandwidth, crazy internet speeds.

In Canada almost every ISP has a bandwidth cap. Depending on the province and ISP typical caps are from 25gb to 125gb.

Comcast doesn't let you view how much bandwidth you've used yet. I'm not even supper sure that they've admitted that they have a cap. It might be mentioned somewhere in the fine print in your contract. They send out letters if you go over and massively throttle you if you go over.

I live in the middle of nowhere, there's one high speed ISP option, it's expensive as shit to boot. While we don't have a hard cap we have a very low soft cap, once we'vre reach that the bandwidth starts to cost (sold in chucks of GBs). All I can say is that it's absolutely worth it not to put up with 56k or Satellite ever again.

I have 10Mbit up and 1,5mbit up. and we pay (converted into us dollars, Thanks  currency converter^^) 28,73 dollars a month. @melcene: Yes, that is neat:) Now if i might ask another question to you. how much does online gaming take up your size? 

Luckily I didn't reach the 250gb cap. I use the most but I don't really download that much data a day.

200 gb from cox I think.

Limitless mofo!

Well. If nothing else(Ppl still cant answear how much online gaming takes from theire cap) we helped a few members with the info :)

Yo!  $35/month for 5mbit down 1mbit up 60GB usage $2/GB if you go over.  "

120 GB, divided between peak and off peak.

Canada, home of the worst internet in the world. Low population density, a corrupt regulatory board and almost no competition in the marketplace. I'm actually relatively lucky with a 100GB cap, but there's definitely room for improvement. 

I'm in Canada and have no bandwidth cap.

South Africa. I have a monthly cap of 5 GB. I kid you not.
 
I use Telkom. There are other options available, but they're not much better. My sister uses MWEB and her limit is 1 GB.
