Thank goodness for Logos and fast churning!

Bob and the rest of the Logos guys, it's really great that you're seeking to get these fixes and updates into our hands quickly, but I'm also very thankful for being able to try out this fast-churning from one ADSL ISP to another business.

Last month I had a 5GB download limit. I used to think that was enough, but when the beta program started, I thought, hmm, if this is the shape of things to come, I'd better go back to that 10GB limit I used to have. Now, just half way into the month, I've just about used those 10GB and am going to churn to another ISP on Monday (that provides 50GB for the same price). How about that! I've multiplied my download limit by 10, just for you guys! :)

Please don't view this as a complaint - you drove me to switch to an ISP that gives a better deal (and some unmetered content, too!) - that's not a bad thing at all!

Thanks for all the work you do!

Nigel

    All this bandwidth talk makes me grateful for my ISP. Unlimited (so far as I know)...I know I'm way upwards of the 50 GB a month, just due to my remote access. 

    Is the bandwidth capping not an issue in the USA because I haven't heard many here talking about it?

    Oz is expensive and Unlimited is Unknown!

    Switching ISP's monthly is also Unknown - I can switch my limit monthly (from 1st day only) and I've gone from 4 GB to 10 GB this month.

    According to my Firewall I downloaded 6.8GB last month but 8.1GB last week! I have never heard of anyone around here (Vancouver, Canada) having a bandwidth limit so I think you would have to go pretty high. I Googled my ISP and bandwidth limit and someone is reporting 60GB a month for my plan. Those are "guidelines" rather than limits meaning if you continuously exceed them they will ask you to buy a higher service (e.g. 100GB) or refuse to service you. If you are using more than 2GB per day, every day you are probably using it commercially so that seems fair.

    To my knowledge Jacob, it's virtually unheard of.  I have heard of some metering in place for large downloaders.  After a bit some ISP's will limit the download speed, but mine is unlimited.

    Americans are too greedy to put up with caps if we can get away with it.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    Well, in Oz, you get a choice between:

    • High price, unlimited.
    • Lower price, larger limit.
    • Really low price, really low limit with excessive surcharges for going over the limit.

    • Very High Price, unlimited, very fast

    Translation Note: very fast in Australia probably means low end speed in US.
