Default Broadband Usage

This is one for all you xDSL and Cable users out there.
As some of you may have noticed from one of my recent posts I am soon getting ADSL from netspace.com.au.
They are the best deal going in Oz @ the moment....but still suck compared to the USoffers..
Anyway there are two things I want to do with this thread

a) Im just going to tell you the plan Im subscring to so you can see how lucky you US guys are. (note prices are aussie dollars so half everything you see to get price in US dollars)

b) I want you to tell me how much bandwidth you use a month, what sort of speed up/down you get and how you relised how much luckier you are than me after seeing the plan above

Seriously I want to know how much you guys d/l and what it is.

Heres my plan.
(NOTE: peak time is from 7am to 11.59pm off peak is midnight to 6.59am)
[glow=red,2,300]
Home Broadband 512 ($99 a month)
Once off connection fee $239

Included Peak Usage/Month 3000mb
Excess Peak Usage/month 16.9c

Included Off Peak Usage/Month 7000mb
Excess Off Peak Usage/month 10c
[/glow]
What this means of course is Im going to have to use peak for gaming.email/surfing and line up my d/ls for after midnight using get right.

Thanks
