Ok, so we'd been looking at the Cox Bundle for awhile. Digital Cable tv, cable internet & new digital phone.

Finally got the digital cable box set up and working with the 2 vcr's, dvd player & replay tv. And then Scott got the cable inet working today.

Then we figured out that there is a 30gb/month download limit. :neartears :( Sucks for me, with my hobby. LOL

30gb/month download limit.


Whoa, That is it??? Even if you did pul 50gb/month that is not very much. Me and my roommates are on Roadrunner, on teh standard package getting 400KBytes a sec down and only 45KBytse a sec up. To say the least our line sits at 300k a sec at a pretty constant speed. And no we have a new internet phone with voynage (it is pretty swift). I say we hit anywhere from 50-90 gigabytes a month. We can d/l a gig in an hour, we do about 1-3 a day, well you know math. All I have to say is cox sucks, i had them once, they didnt like me.

Thats scary. I download like 5gb a day and upload nearly the same. I couldnt live with 30gb a month.

What are you capped at for your upload speed?

I couldnt live with 30GB in a month. I've downloaded 50 gigs before in a single day. You should probably look into other broadband carriers.

slaus is none here. It's sbc dsl or cox cable, or smaller isp's for dsl, which I am keeping, cause it's Scott's work and it's free. ;) But with it, can't forward ports, so can't dcc send stuff on irc, the speeds aren't as good, etc.

:shrug:
