Whats the difference

[obeah]

Unfortunately I'm on a shitty 6GB download limit per month, I listen to Philosomatika constantly, Does streaming count as downloading, in other words have I fucked it!

[pr0fane]

Yeah, it does count as downloading.

[obeah]

Oh dear then.................

[Guest antic]

To upset you even more, browsing psynews is downloading too, especially off-topic pr0n threads

[obeah]

Oh no, I'm done for...looks like its an upgrade to 40GB and a new job, I must have Psy in my diet!!!!!

if possible, I'd strongly encourage you to get a flat rate connection.

If only, even though I'm in the centre of a large city it seems difficult to find decent or ANY internet providers, I hate BT!!!, to make it worse Carphone Warehouse introduced free unlimited Broadbean just as I got contracted for a year, though I'm sure there some dodgy hidden cost aside from the line rental.

By the way, how much does it affect your downloading, I mean Philosomatika streams at 160k, But thats not what its downloading at surely?

it is what its downloading at.

 

 

nice nick btw.

it's 160 kilobit per second, which amounts to roughly 17-ish kilobyte per second, or a megabyte per minute. An hours worth of listening is 60 megs and it would take you just over 100 hours to max out your 6 gigabyte quota, if you only listen to philosomatika. That would break down to 3 hours 20 minutes of listening time per day.

 

But seeing as you post here, you clearly do other things with your precious gigabytes too =)

[obeah]

I feel much better now I know its kilo-bits, shit I thought I'd maxed out my limit for sure.

"shitty 6GB download limit?????"

dude...

I have a friend who has 1 GB download limit. He's happy with it.

 

I have practically a flatrate. I pay half a fortune for it and it's decent.

However, the provider's terms of use say that you must obey the FAIR USE principle and that you MAY NOT DOWNLOAD EXCESSIVELY. They have inofficially limited the downloading to 8 or so GB I think. Rumors say it's even less.

You see, not even a flatrate saves you sometimes. I never had problems though.

 

With 6GB you can download/stream/whatever plenty of stuff.

 

I think I use 1,5 GB a month or so...

[traveller]

My internet is on pretty much 24/7 with 230Kb/s coming in constantly

 

 

 

I wonder how much that makes in a month

Is uploading classed as downloading in regards to the monthly limit?

depends if they call it download limit or transfer limit

[Charlie]

My provider, Virgin, call it a download limit. I'm guessing they include uploading in that?

I'm guessing that if they did that they should call it transfer limit..

When i got my internetconnection i got a 5 GB limitation but i changed it to flatrate even in the second day because i ´didn´t want to think always about my lomitation when i was downloading something, after that i was and am downloading and streaming and browsing the net all the time, it´s perfect without limitation, and in most countries a flatrate don´t cost the world, it is pretty cheap in any country where i know the prices, even in Germany, everything gets more expensive but cellphone and internet are getting cheaper and cheaper.
