Hey guys, I've been capped by NGU for reaching my limit, Despite not downloading any files, I've done some checks and it could well be my fault after all so i thought it would be important that i give people on here who may not be aware, A little heads up on how easy it is to use your bandwidth, Below is a screen shot of the bandwidth consumed whilst watching a 7 minute youtube video in 720p.

As you will see it has consumed 206.3mb download and 4.342mb on the upload. So if i watch 4/5 youtube video's then that's 1gb just on that alone. Perhaps this information will be useful, perhaps not but i thought i would put it out their anyway.

Was it necessary to take up 75% of the screen cap with the emo-eye? Huh? What a waste of my bandwidth... doesn't affect me so much because I am not on NGU, but seriously, it defies the object of the thread, you don't have to tell everyone you're emo, believe me, we can tell already. Cheesy

Nontheless, a valid point, a 720p video, even just one minute long, in h.246 will probably consume over 100Mb.

Haha valid point but i thought leaving the eye in links well with 'keeping an eye on bandwidth' Smiley

With that aside, You are correct, as shown a 720p 6 minute video took that much bandwidth alone. Just for people to be aware that's all. This includes myself.

Yet another example of NextGenus being nothing more than a joke.
In all honesty i will be surprised if they have any customers left* very soon.

* not including the ones that just use it for checking emails and thats it.
