Mediacom recently implemented bandwidth cutoffs for customers and I figured I'd use it to get out of my contract of 1 mbps up and 15 mbps down. My down has been fine but when doing server work that involves affiliate I like bandwidth for getting videos up.
They have higher plans of 50 down and 5 up and 100 down and 10 up.
Anyway...
Apparently they've been calling some of their highest users, I couldn't resist so I asked, "what was the amount of the highest user?"
...
4TB!
The only way I can think to consume that much legally was large server backups that are downloaded locally.
I discussed with the person that anyone beyond a certain point it's pretty much a given they aren't using it for legitimate means. Anyway, thought I'd share that with you as on slashdot it made news that someone in Sweden had consumed just over 3TB.
There's only so much netflix and Linux ISOs you can download.
