What I want to know is how much data this thing is moving in one hour of gaming. Most if not all ISP's have a cap on how much data you can download (it's in the fine print of your contract) go over the cap and they charge you $XXX.XX a MB or GB your over.

I think you have it backwards Oddiophile, most do not have caps from my experience. Now with the increase in demand, we are seeing it more and more. The local cable company caps all of it's home services, unless you pay like the $20 extra a month for unlimited. That's why we went with slower, but uncapped DSL.

One of the posts says that like 71% of the homes has 2mbps internet... I dont think so lol, lots of people are still using dial up. Maybe 71% of homes with broadband internet. Ours is 320kbps/240kbps, with low latency, so I have no issues at all with gaming on PC or PS3, but I'm sure it would be lacking this new system.
