Hmm...7 days to go, only 1.13GB left. Normally I would have at least 2GB left out of the 8 my plan allows, before I get throttled back to 64KB/s. Some might say 'crippled'.

And a few times have gone over the with my 20 plan, and I'm reckless with downloads.

Surprising how quick it runs out, specific with so many addon's to play with , but 2GB is not much at all

You are right Ian, that's really nothing. I have just downloaded the "Destiny" beta for the playstation 4 a few days ago, and that was over 13gb. Unlimited plans are becoming the norm. Unfortunately that does mean the country slows down that much more as we all try to get on, but maybe one day we'll get a better pipeline out of the country to really speed things up.
My plan is limited to 80gb, but if I go over it I'm not slowed down, just charged $2 or $3 per extra GB I use.

Not these days...I remember paying a small fortune for the latest HDD - all 40MB of it
Added up the West Coast Towns d/loads at flightsim.com - 703MB, near enuff; and the folder with my 215 bmps in it is 1.66GB
