8GB of League of Legends updates, which failed at 7GB and had to start over, so 8 more GB. Then the entire install was bugged because of that failure, and I had to scratch and reload LoL. 8 more GB.
6GB or so of Borderlands 2 reinstall.
So 2 days, 30GB of downloads in just that PC install alone. The kid on XBox Live while simultaneously watching Youtube, the wife on Netflix, smart phones and tablets all on the wifi all day...
Am I a heavy user? Seems like a typical Saturday night, to me.
Fuck you, telecomms.

I DLd 6 torrents at once 2 days ago, was maxing out at 2MB/s. According to TW.com that means I am on a 15Mb plan, however that works. Bits aren't bytes, I guess.
Also yesterday I got a flyer in the mail to try Frontier Internet, which I guess uses the Time Warner cables but I pay Frontier, instead. I think I will look into it and see if I can get a cheaper rate for a year. I'm currently paying $65/month for my slow speeds and 10 year old modem.

We pay $111 for phone + Internet + cable TV. I think we were paying $60 for the 30Mbps service alone when we didn't have the other services (So $60 for 200 now).
I will tolerate mediocre internet service to not live in an urban area.
Odd. I live in an urban area because I hate mediocre internet service.

I live just above the urban area and have great internet. The problem is you went too far out. You can live closer without being in the urban area. People in my area do all the same stuff you do with the gardens and whatnot.

No deal. Next year is chickens and possibly beehives.
It could be worse... I have a cousin 4 miles further out than I, and there are no coax lines going past his house, and he is too far out for DSL. That means no fast internet at all, unless you count the dish that points at the nearest grain elevator, which means he doesn't have fast upstream. Good enough for Netflix, he claims, but I couldn't say if he can do 1080P streams.

I was just sitting here killing time and decided to hop on a Time Warner chat and they told me I can just take my 10-year-old modem into a store and they will give me a new one.
Hopefully this makes me faster.
