Typical Home Bandwidth Usage?
Broadband writes "With a growing number of internet service providers imposing hard bandwidth caps, I too will soon find myself with a limit. In typical Slashdot fashion I use the Internet for everything from movie streaming to online backup and just realized I have no idea how much data traverses my pipes on a monthly basis. While I have wised up and installed a bandwidth monitoring solution, it'll be some time until I have a normalized average. So my question is: What is the average monthly data usage in your household? How many people share the connection and is there anything you've found essential yet bandwidth intensive that you couldn't live without? (E.g. VOIP, movie downloads, streaming audio, etc.)"
optonline-cablevision i believe has the best service in the country - though in our NJ manhattan office we use FIOS from verizon which again is very fast and there we have 3 server and about 20+ workstation using internet all day and again those servers backing up off hours onlinebackupvault.com and we are very happy with the speed and price. we have never got any overage charges.
