Alot of ISP's are limiting bandwidth. So I thought I would post this and help anyone with charter out.

Charter Residential recently put a 500GB a month limit cap in place for their top tier service.  When they did this I was going above that to a point where they wanted to cancel my service and let me reapply in 3 months.

Charter Business class on the other hand has no limits. So since I used my connection for work anyways I transferred. Not bandwidth caps at all. It is a bit more expensive(I pay about 200 a month for the 50mbps down and 5mbps up). But oh well.

Anyone else know any work arounds for the other ISP's?

200 hundred Norway dollars (sorry Ace, I can't remember what Norway's currency is... Krons or something?)? Or 200 USD? I mean holy shit... are there really no other ISPs where you live that you'll have to pay $200 for only 50mbps down and only 5 mbps up? I know for a fact that Verizon Fios's 50 down/50 up plan is like $80.

I have Comcast though, about 20 down/4 up. I think they have a soft limit 250 GBs and then they start sending me letters to stop doing that. I havn't hit anywhere near that limit and I download A LOT and surf the internet A LOT and watch movies on Netflic A LOT, etc. How you hit 500 GBs limit is beyond me. You literally have to download 16 GBs on average a day to hit 500 GBs a month. What the hell are you doing with your internet connection?

I'm using a Verizon FIOS line, 15/5.  I don't download a terrible large amount, maybe average 20-25 GB a week.  But, I upload ~1.5 TB month.

Haven't had a single peep out of Verizon for 16 months now.  Our package covers landline, two cell phones (unlimited within U.S.), basic cable, and the 15/5 internets for $120 U$D/month.

Mine sucks. I have Rogers—which is probably stupid—and it obv has a bandwidth limit. I get max 20Mbs Down, 1Mb up. 140 GBs a month, and it costs about 40 bucks a month. I don't pay for it, and I've been telling my mom to switch, but she's a little lazy sometimes. Canada and the US are prolly the worst for this stuff.

ive only got 8Mbs down 832Kbs and 40GB peak 140GB offpeak here
