I play WOW and 4GB patches are rare (couple times per year). All other WOW patches are usually under 1GB. Steam - only the original game is a large download - like all software, patches are only incremental and small. You're going to have to some up with some better examples than these to justify your high usage.
Two years ago RS had this same discussion. Even back then (before Netflix and when Youtube was used to watch funny short clips instead of HD content) people here were still downloaing 200GB a month and bitching about Shaw/Telus sending them warnings. Back then all the thieves just used different excuses than what's being mentioned in this thread. Same shit, different pile. Once a crook, always a crook.
Why would any of you pay for Netflix anyway? They have a much poorer selection than what you can get off a torrent, and with a torrent you get to keep the movie/TV show on your drive instead of having to stream it every time you want to watch it.
Internet data is cheap in Canada. Not as cheap as some other countries, but it's pointless to complain about what other countries have that we don't. So what if Japan has 60Mbit service for dirt cheap. Sure their internet is cheap, and you you'll need it to download stuff to keep you entertained while you sit cramped in your 400 sq ft apartment in Tokyo that you can barely afford.
Seriously, when will all you sheltered people grow up? I'll break the news to you now: There will never be a place to live anywhere in the world that has the scenery of Vancouver, internet service of Japan, dirt cheap gas like Venezuela, great highways like Germany, freedom & democracy and affordable housing. So stop whining about what so-and-so has. You sound like little kids complaining that Timmy has a nicer bike than you do while missing the fact that your parents own a nice house and Timmy lives in an apartment his mother can barely afford.
For Shaw users, just add a data plan. $50 per month for 250GB, or $0.20 per GB. Cheap in my books.
