What's your internet consumption

Christ... 250gb cap?

That's about 4-5 PS4 games of the AAA variety that would be insane to agree to.
The Witcher 3 and all dlc for it are close to 80GB alone, could download that and then set your youtubes to 240p for the rest of the month :D would drive me insane having that cap.

Agree to lol. The only alternative here is switching to phone lines and be limited to 5mbps, joy with 4 people.

They still offer a smaller package 25GB a month! I guess for people that only use email. Unlimited internet starts at CAD 100 a month. That would be the next step when 4K streaming becomes normal. Hopefully next year I can negotiate with them to get us to unlimited for a reasonable price. The first thing I check when browsing games on psn is what the download size is.

It's kinda sad how addicted to internet we've become. Turning the modem off when getting close to the limit is amazingly hard to do lol. My kids asking every 5 minutes to do something that involves internet. Check the weather, the news, game sites, google anything I need to look up, and I just bought Bridge crew, ps4 system update, game patch, online only. How did I manage to grow up without the internet!

I think the main way we survived without having gigs of data pouring into our houses was because back in the 90s our video games were 512KB of Sonic the Hedgehog which arrived in a cartridge sold by a nice person at a game shop, now our games are either sold at gamestop along with trying to sell you an upgrade to your loyalty to gamestop and disc insurance for laser burn (on a 3ds cartridge) while you just want your damn game, so more and more people are going to the internet to download their games direct instead, but... long gone are the days of the 512kb Sonic and now we have 40+ GB battlefield and 80+GB Witcher and Fallout 4 on the PS4.

If it wasn't for games I would be happy around the 250gb mark I would wager.... but even still, the majority of the TV watched in our house is from Netflix or one of the other streaming services, terrestrial channels here in Ireland are just gone to shit, not only are they funded by a 160per year fee but they also incorperate advertisments which can almost double the run time of shows, big bangs 20 min episodes are over half an hour here because of it, after streaming without adverts I found it impossible to go back to such disjointed entertainment.
