Got a data cap?

Luckily no. I don't even pay for my internet and get a constant 1.5 mb/s download speed on Steam

150GB cap split between two people, so I get 75GB to myself each month. Need about 35GB for regular browsing. No way around it unfortunately, going over increases the price I pay.

I would like an external drive to backup downloads, but don't have the cash to pick up one.

My friend has a 1 gb cap per week....... I would shoot myself

50 gb per month. When i pass 50 gb my speed goes down to 300 kb/s. Changing mtu settings on modem works for me to bypass speed cap. But if i do that i can't reach to websites trick only works for downloading. And i'm paying 30$ per month -_-

Have a 5gb monthly cap then a huge connection drop, Do that with the most important ones that i know i will play alot.
Sadly no way around it

No.

Try to live with 15 GB per month! Lucky I have free Internet browsing and steam downloading is count as site browsing :) Also I have something like 20 MB per second and low ping.

8 GB/Month for $30 around 7 mbps, drops down to 96kbps after data cap.

I have unlimited data and fiber optic internet... Fuck yeah

nope, here its defined by the connection speed

105 GB cap split between 5 people and yes, I use an external hard drive and just cut-paste games there that I'm currently not playing or planning to do so later on. I also download at a public building from time to time with free to use internet connection and use the Steam backing up program then to be able to use the files on my main computer.

No cap and Fiber optic internet ftw :D

400GB Telus, but they are not implementing it :D

I don't know if it was an inside joke or they are just mocking shaw lol. The household data usage is averaging @ 1.2TB/month, mostly from data mining scripts that I run on the workstation

2.5mb/s download, unlimited internet

Technically, Comcast has a cap of 250GB, but they haven't enforced it for a long time. 250 is plenty, although I've wanted to pick up a new hard drive to store my downloads. It'd be nice to not have to worry about downloading, caps, or deleting things for space.

I have unlimited, but slow as crap. Wait, no. Crap is faster.

I had 250gb cap but they stopped enforcing it and are going to increase it eventually (or hopefully get rid of it). I do backup games on my HDD anyways because I use an SSD as my main but I normally download any game pretty quick.

Now it's unlimited, but long time ago (10 years back) it was limited.

I found some good with that limit. When it started to slow internet, while waiting for pages to load I had time to do stuff like food or some cleaning :)

Luckily no cap and a 100mbit fiber line for around 30€/m.
But at the end of the year my current ISP will cancel its service in my area so I'll have to stick with 16mbit DSL again.
My neighborhood is going back to the internet stone age. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Had 3 GB cap back in 2005, then became 5GB in 2006 and then 10 GB in 2007. Then finally 16 GB and soon after 20GB in 2010 and then 25GB in 2011. Then I finally got uncapped last year.
I used to back everything up so I'd never have to think about ever downloading it again, heck I still do and have like 6 HDDs of various sizes full.
Managing all those caps was utter agony and made my life 1000s of time more stressful, I'd curse every lost 100MB when my connection reset in the middle of a HTTP download or some crappy filehost timed out. A bunch of Windows updates had ability to completely cripple my usage for that month. Every MB had to be accounted and budgeted to a certain type of use. I also always had to make sure that I left enough data for the final day but not so much that I wouldn't be able to use it all and thus not get full value because I desperately needed every MB I could get.

250GB cap for me. 15Mbs Download with 1.5Mbs upload. So 1.8MB download and not even a MB upload. I don't understand why ISPs go by Megabits instead of Megabytes. I suppose it's because they just want their speeds to look faster? /shrug

I've got a 120 GB data cap but it doesn't include downloads made between midnight and 8 am. I used to start downloads at midnight, before going to bed and kept the auto-update off on all my games.

Now that Steam has implemented the download restrictions, allowing to set a schedule, I've turned auto-update back on and set a schedule to force downloads to happen at night.
