We've had Dial-Up for a little over a year now. But now our provider offers a High Speed Unplugged internet service in our area. So we bought plan 2.

Quote:

Does Sympatico High Speed Unplugged have any bandwidth restrictions?
Sympatico High Speed Unplugged customers have a combined upload and download bandwidth usage allowance1. Plan 1 customers have a 2 GB allowance. If this bandwidth usage allowance is exceeded, an overage charge of $7.50 per GB will apply, prorated down in 100 MB increments to a maximum charge of $30. Plan 2 customers have a 10 GB allowance. If this bandwidth usage allowance is exceeded, an overage charge of $1.50 per GB will apply, rounded up to the nearest GB to a maximum charge of $30. It is your responsibility to make sure you do not exceed the usage allowance. Your use of the service is governed by the Sympatico High Speed Unplugged Service Agreement.

Please note that 1 GB is equal to about 200 MP3 songs (average 5 MB per song) or about 100 three minute MPEG videos a month and thousands of text based emails or web site visits. That's a lot of surfing!

We get a 10 GB allowance a month, I was just wondering if there is any way to check how much bandwidth we've used. Also, do things like MSN or playing games take bandwidth contsantly while you're online?

Thanks!

Where do you live? I live out in the middle of nowhere now, which is why we couldn't get anything better until now. And I don't pay for the internet, my parents do.

Is this offered in Canada, because when I try to do anything on there site it asks for a zip code, we have postal codes.

I'd go with plan 2, or find a different company.

Roflol, I think my dad pays like $30 per month and I get 8mbit unlimited. If my net was limited I'd probably die!

By the way, what is this limited crap? I have never heard of such a thing here in sweden!
