250 gigabytes is about sixty DVD-quality movies. That's two a day. I'd think you would run out of movies worth watching pretty fast at that rate.

- mattmaroon 18y agoHa, the way Hollywood is these days, you'd run out in two days.
- silencio 18y agoMy problem with this argument is that nobody does 10000s of emails and nothing but...all movies and nothing else...et cetera. You don't have to watch 250gb of sixty DVD-copy-quality movies - all you need is a small and active household doing everything from movies to ordinary streaming video, regular surfing and other miscellaneous downloads, and hitting 250gb may not seem so unrealistic then. 250gb is also sort of generous now, but consider that bandwidth usage can only go up from here as doing things like renting HD movies from iTunes becomes more popular. Also that a lot of people don't have a choice over who they can get service with. Right now on my 10/1 cable (thankfully not comcast) connection, my router tells me I've used up about 195gb down and 40gb up for a total of 235gb since August 1st. I don't think we've even come close to 60 DVDs..
