Remember we originally revolted when our tax load was lighter than yours!

You're almost correct:
1024bytes = 1 megabyte
1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
1,024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
a small "b" means BITS
8b = 1B
a large "B" means BYTES
These charges are directed not only to confuse the user, to stop bandwidth congestion, but to also stop peer-to-peer file sharing. Another way of micromanaging the user and scalping them.
With Fiber (optical) going mainstream to residential level, the ability to download massive files in seconds will saturate the networks quickly. So either speed caps or quotas have to be implemented.
:wall:

I was close! I thought it was trilla bite but now I remember it's tera, doh! I was close for not knowing much.
I figured they would do this so we wouldn't be using torrents anymore but I so love to download metallica albums over and over again for no reason.

then lower the price and lower the speeds. verizon says they wont do any caps which i hope they stick up to. they need to update their networks then......
they already have caps..... once the ops or co or something like that in for verizon they claim each line could do 400 up and down.... i dont think they should be able to cap the speed and limit your use. pick one go with it..... they want to limit the gb bandwith then pull the caps off.
Ummmm...and what has me making a statement about us in the UK having to pay for extra bandwidth got to do with how i moderate on AC?

Bingo!!!
the problem is not the provider but limitations at the site you download from.
they can upgrade all they want but the more users the more demand this will create a choke point and can crash a network.
I use to work for a large internet retailer I mean large retailer..we had an OC-48 on site. 200,000 sq ft data center.
the site crashed due to internet demand the day after thanksgiving 1 year.
