What Good is the Cloud with Capped Bandwidth?

[Tharic-Nar]

If some companies are to be believed, we all belong in the cloud. That includes our information, documents, photos, music and sometimes, even our movies.

It is always great to see more fibre deployments, but as is usually the case they are very limited in availability. They support around a half-dozen cities in New Brunswrick only.

If I lived 5 minutes up the road, I could get it, but not right here. It burns

MacMan: The non fiber-op is also unlimited; it's what I have. It's not as reliable as fiber-op, nor as fast, but man, the unlimited bandwidth... no comparison. Couldn't live without it.

On my server where I do a lot of torrenting, I used just about 1TB of bandwidth in the past 30 day period. That server costs about half of a regular ISP monthly package.
