I was recently exploring my ISP's webpage and noticed how much data I actually consume. It's roughly 200+ GB per month. I never thought it was this high. I always suspected I was around 100gb a month. Crazy how much streaming on multiple devices causes it to jump. So glad I have uncapped plan. :)

How does everyone else compare to this?

'Unlimited', I'm not sure how much they actually allow, but I work remotely on large projects and use a lot:

At 23:59 on 29/01/2013 you had used 927.71 GB of your unlimited usage allowance.

Your average monthly usage is 674.63 GB.

Here are mine. (my plan is unlimited as well however, i never knew Time Warner allowed you to see this data)

It may be new. I've browsed their site before and never saw this. I like how you can even make it show by the hour which times you were using how much. And nice clean image you posted. Much better than mine :p

Seems like I'm about average so far for those of us on Unlimited plans. I really don't see how I could ever get by with anything under 200gb a month. With multiple consoles in multiple rooms, alongside multiple andriod phones, I would be picked clean by a capped ISP.

@ZakO - Damn man, that is a lot :p Has your usage this month been more than normal, or do you do anything that specificly uses that much usually?

I don't meter mine, but I rarely break 40GB a month. Don't do much streaming, and the fact that most scene rips are about half their old sizes means my bandwidth usage is actually decreasing.

This month is 1.4TB.. Linux Distros as well.. :shiftyninja:

Charter doesn't have a meter, but have a 250Gb cap on the plan I have. But my router does. :p

So far this month: 126,771Mb

Last month: 104,886

I had charter and downloaded crazy amounts (at least 700GB a month) and never got a warning :)

PS, your avatar, was that a restaurant in Atlanta? I used to live there

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
