I has no download or upload limit. The only thing I dislike is the PPPoE and that Verizon blocks port 80, as well as deliberately cycles everyone's IPs around every few days (I have mine set to keep-alive) to sell their static IP business FiOS.

Since I only recently moved I got 10GB to trial, but I've decided to add another 10GB for an extra $10 a month (so now $69 a month).

It sucks being in an area where data is so expensive, but I do understand why it is so expensive. They need to hurry up and build more connections to the rest of the world!

Lucky bastards. Over here I've got around 7Mb down, 1Mb up. Latency on American/European game servers is another story.

I usually find while on US servers that I get pings of about 150~250 ms but the game is still stable and playable (it's not dropped packets, just extra travel time for the signal). I often join US servers because I find 15~40 pings on Aussie servers a little easy at times, having a slight lag is a good challenge.

One thing I also notice that most US people playing on US servers seem to have pings of about 100~250ms, sometimes my pings are better than people actually in the US. Why is that? Do you all have torrent going 24/7 or something?

That's possible although I suppose they also didn't do any shopping around for their provider. Most places in America have at least two broadband services to choose from.
