newshosting.com is the best value, giganews.com is the best quality Smile

On a college network in Croatia here I got 100mbps line(200mbps if roomies decides to borrow me his slot), I download about 120GB per month(torrent and news), had little under 1.5TB download traffic last year Eat your heart out, but you'll need a backup when internet crashes.

Unless you are engaged in some serious illegal activities, such as child porn, credit fraud, id theft, etc, most ISPs couldn't care two tosses about what you are transferring. Also, ipv6 has encryption included in the protocol itself, making all the extra encryption some people use today useless. Then again some people are paranoid enough to believe they need all that extra shit. And about the 10 extra connections you get, more marketing bullshit for things you don't need. Most people's lines will cap after using no more than 5 connections anyway, so what's the point? Upcoming PC games 2009 and onwards Bravery is not a function of firepower.

What Parallax said is true - I.S.P's dont give a toss, unless you are up to something like kiddy porn or credit card fraud.. that kinda thing.. They want your money after all - and they know we dont want 10meg BB to watch streaming football matches despite what thier advertising says - they are well aware why people go for fast connections ...
