Comcast has raised the cap, they also plan to raise it again for 2013, and not count streaming services linked to them (infinity watching) with the new higher speed systems (the 50mb, 100mb, 300mb, 50mmb down, 50, 100, 200 up services). Business lines have no cap.

ATT began throttling connections again, never liked them anyway. IT depends on what you signed up with. THey also have a cap.

Verizon, has a cap, but it's on 1 direction.

Caps, as far as with Comcast, are recommended usage caps. If you go over once, they let you know. If you go over to much again, they send a warning, if you go over yet again, repeatable taking advantage, then they can cancel your account. You realllly have to be pushing it to go over the new cap.

you make comcast sound good :( too bad they do shit like they tell you pay this much for 12month and then 5month it come 80$ -.- they always doing stuff like that in FL that why i went with ATT.

I have a chose here but ATT was horrible. Wnet back to Comcast, I had 1 issue at a former residence with Comcast, but they credited me so much money, I ended up with 4 free months.

I have a business pack so I pay little for cable, and the superior speed pays off. I need more then 5mb up loads.ATT standards and business upload speeds are horrible

In Australia, it is physically impossible to get a true "unlimited bandwidth" cable connection. The only companies that offer Cable, have plans based on a xxxGB cap, then slowed to 256Kbps (around 50-60 true KBps) after reaching the cap.

ADSL2+ with smaller companies offer Unlimited but their DL speeds aren't as superior as Cable for the most part.

So the more you can physically load the lighter the hit on your cap limit. Having said that it is unrealistic to expect SE to provide separate discs to those who purchased copies of version 1.0. At best they might supply us with a discount code to purchase a retail copy. I do not expect it though as there has been no mention of it prior to this. If you are worried about a cap hit just buy the basic retail version. Cost would be less then what most ISPs charge for overages.

True, it wouldn't be an issue if the ISPs kept up with increase in demand. Most don't even offer an unlimited plan anymore. (As I understand it, one reason why they don't is due to the bandwith demands of tablets.) When the technology does improve, it either costs the same, or it costs more. When did we as a society decide to abandon the idea of better, faster, cheaper?

Guys, I was under the impression that there would be no physical copies of the ARR game and they were doing digital distributions only.

Did SE say they were doing physical?

Why shouldn't SE not go physicals and show the game boxes in the shops to people who would be buying it after they saw the box?

300 gigs is easy to attain if you watch a lot of movies like I do. What people do not realize is services like Amazon and VUDU stream in HD. You are talking 4/5 gigs per movie. If you have utilized Digital copy from DVDs that you bought it is done in HD for the same hit. Found this out the hard way 1 month when I did nearly 600 gigs. Has greatly curtailed my viewing habits.

I was going to show you a screenshot of both what SE said and the PC icon they display, but then I found that on the FFXIV ARR website they have the DVD-ROM icon listed, so I guess they did say.

It's just up til this point all they ever said that I've seen was in regards to digital for legacy members or those who have purchased the 1.0 game.
