went over my 20gb bandwidth limit this week cause i watched too much high quality streams of blizzcon+gsl finals. As great as uc berkeley is, I just want to say that their housing internet policy is killing esports =(. I had to watch mlg last week on my iphone cause apparently whatever I watched that same week took up too much bandwidth....

I would roll into the library and use the internet there at my school. Don't have to worry about the caps.

Only thing good about shitty UNT is that its internet doesn't cap. Though it doesn't matter too much because my dorm cuts off its internet at 1 AM everyday so i have to use shitty wireless internet until it turns back on. I can't wait to get out of this shit hole

He's got a point. Shouldn't you be able to use AirBears?

Dunno why UCB's internet policy suck so much. Most dorms in UCSD have 100Mbps Up/Down with no caps. Newer dorms have 400Mbps down.
Oracle comes in, Scvs go down, never a miscommunication.

Yea the speed is fine but the cap is annoying. Good idea on the library though didn't really think of that I guess, mostly cause I recall the wifi being terrible at times but I'll definitely make it a possibility the next time I'm in this situation

In Australia, my internet cap is 75GB/75GB per month for peak/off-peak respectively.

Off-peak is 2am to 8am so it's really not that useful.

75GB for peak period is 2.5GB a day, so I think all the USA people have got it really good. Also, in addition, alot of people here have it worse than me.

That's odd, my school has no download limit, they just get really angry and give you 2 warnings and on a 3rd they'll reformat your whole computer with no chance of saving your stuff, if you upload too much (I got a warning for doing like 120 gb in a week one time, i think were the numbers).

But a DL limit? really?

"reformat your whole computer" I see some problems with the enforcement of this policy

Oh wow boohoo this thread makes me laugh, I'm stuck on 25 gigs a month and I pay for it, its what you get for living in a shitty area is Australia, but even in better areas everyone here has bandwidth caps. I suppose its a good thing though as it stops competitive sc2 completely taking over my life, theres just so much content these days. I like to look at the other postives such as it forces me to play more and watch less also.

7gb a day seems luxurious to me.

Meh, I just try and watch streams on 360p to adapt. It sucks a lot in terms of quality, but it saves the GB limit. Can't even watch on 480p/High quality streams or I'll get destroyed. :[
