I don't think the idea of spreading a partition around is a very good one - sounds messy and you might lose data ;-)
A petition (which I presume you mean, sorry to be picky about spelling but couldn't resist) is for government, no? What are they going to do? ADSL (or by another name 'jetstream', no?) is provided by private companies - and they will do what makes good business sense. Until such time as it makes good business sense to provide unlimited ADSL (which means some people *will* use it non stop - probably downloading PRON, heh. Mahesh you hit the mark ;-) Remember that the ISP has to pay for the bandwidth they onsell to you... so unlimited plans are kinda like 'all you can eat' in a restraunt. It's not free for those providing it, it's calculated on how much they think an average user will "eat". But when you have a lot of Homer Simpsons living in your area, you quickly take down the 'all you can eat' sign ;-) Cheers, Gareth On Wednesday 04 December 2002 18:24, Justin Soong wrote: > hi guys, > > I just did some calculations for ADSL jetstart 128kbps, and i have some > interesting figures: > > If you had jetstart on for 28days at its full speed of 16KB/s, the total > gigabyte usage will be, 36.91406GB. > > If you had jetstart on for 28days at a normal line speed of approx 10KB/s, > the total gigabyte usage will be 23.07129GB. > > If Adsl is supposed to be an always on connection, a datacap is complete > bull.
