Yikes... two hours of browsing NAG forums and 70 megs have gone down the drain o.o

Might not seem like that much, but it's a bitch if you're on 500 megs monthly... such as the situation I'm in right now. Quite a resource heavy forum perhaps? :(

Cant wait for next month, heading over to the land of 10mb/sec internet :)

In case someone else here also has such limited monthly bandwidth, I'd recommend you stay away from myspace and facebook especially... ridiculously taxing on bandwidth :(

500 megs! What can you do with that? Check your email?

If you avoid downloading anything it's usually just enough for the month

Facebook is the worst at times.
The one day, all I did was fool around on facebook and it used 200-something mb and my mother freaked out!

yesterday I used about a 100megs just surfing the net(mainly facebook) and only downloaded for about a 100megs. That was a very expensive day so my downloading will stop for the next week or so.

Caps are evil.
Other sites to avoid: Youtube, rather download the movies with this site, Youtube file ripper (http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php#), and Great games experiment


A third world african country like morocco doesn't have caps. Their cheapest adsl costs R70, uncapped, and is 128kb/s, where their most expensive is R700, also uncapped, and is 20mb/s. I don't know if those prices include line rental, but that's still cheap.
