Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB
An anonymous reader writes with this envy-spawning excerpt: "While for most people the data limit is never reached, with media-rich websites becoming every more prevalent, and more media services going online (we're looking at you streaming video services), it won't be long before the average user is surpassing even the highest caps commonly imposed today. But how much data is it possible to download every month? And do the so-called data-hogs really burn through that much more data than everyone else? According to Belgian ISP Telenet, the answers are 'a lot' and 'yes, they can.'"
As has to be pointed out over and over again until it gets through the thick skulls of people like you "unlimited" meant that your connection was always on not that you could be saturating the upload/download stream 24/7.
