A broadband user using P2P, would do with nothing less than 500MB of download a night. Yesterday, it was my highest with more than 700MB with my new 256Kbps line at top speed. In this kind of usage, I can end up paying Rs.1,13,906.00, if I use DataOne round the clock!
Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of downloads are we talking here? Video/movie files? Anything else? Maybe coz i never got to do P2P (eMule?), i'm clueless.
For a great part of the last week, I was bumming around playing 128kbps streams from obscure radio channels on the net. After reading your post i realized that i'm consuming almost an MB every minute, and my package allows only 1000 such precious minutes per month, after which each minute would be charged Rs.1.50.
Upon this realization, I respectfully switched off the streams and turned on my CD player instead
