The data cap is insane, it ridiculous.  In the Land of the Free, I've never seen a data or time cap for ten or fifteen years since dial up, we've got unlimited internet usage.  I'm paying 40 bucks, for a 7 down, 1.5 up. 

welcome to Australia  ;)

as you can see   we are getting bent over   it costs us quite a bit   

only this month  AAPT  announced a no cap plan for $99 per month   

I am waiting to see how that goes  :-\
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Just got done checking with Qwest, and the speed all of a sudden jumped. Here are the results of their test, and my new speed test:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1.331 Mbps (0.2 MB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 0.72 Mbps (0.1 MB/sec transfer rate)
The closest server located in Minneapolis, MN performed this test with a latency of 65 milliseconds.
Test Date: Thursday, February 18, 2010 2:08:47 PM
