    I went in to shaw yesterday to find out just how much bandwidth I was using. I've got two users on my account, both of us spend too much time online, watch youtube, listen to streaming audio, play games, etc. All that, and we've never exceeded 15gig a month (shaw's LITE package limit --which I switched too, saving me about $15/mo).

    Now, we don't do peer to peer sharing, and we don't download HD movies. But I bet there's a good chunk of people out there that use the internet just like me and are probably overpaying for service they don't even need. Looking at my usage, 200GB seems crazy.

    If you don't already know, look into how much bandwidth you actually use. It was an eye opener for me.

    • as it turns out LITE = 56k on average... so that sucksmonNom
