in Broadband & internet access
As part of a small research project a friend of mine is doing (which I have been somehow drawn into helping), my friend would like to know how much broadband users download every month

If you could also let me know what speed your on as well - that would be great

    Hummm, good question. It's all a bit subjective for me. Depends on what shows I've missed etc. I reckon though, between 10-15gigs. I'm supposed to be on 2mb, but I doubt I'm actually getting anywhere near that! Think I'll go do a test and see! ;)

    Average just under 25 a month. Use a lot of p2p live football games so upload is about 5-10gig/month.

    Who are you with if you can download that much every month?

    Most ISP's throttle the P2P!
    Treat others as you would like to be treated :A

    Hi
    I'm on 2mb, download about 25+ gigs a month, depending what takes my eye as I'm browsing on Easynews, if they have loads of new audiobooks, that I haven't got I can go up to 40gigs a month.

    Im on 1MB and download around 1GB. Have tried using p2p software many times but have given up as it always fails.

    I voted 2-5 as I am on a 6GB limit, but I only tend to download and average of 3GB every month.

    My speed is 1MB.
