Still looking at internet. Most have caps. We would only have internet (i.e no phone or cable). Streaming netflix, youtube, vpn, using skype; i would be online for most of day doing work (email, websites, downloading files from ftp site). Would 250 gb be enough? Thank you.

How big are the work files? Who can say on your behalf? Depends on your line of work and how much TV you watch etc. I'd hit that limit in a day or two at work, but would easily cope with it at home.

Hi Rich, work files aren't massive. Up to 1 gb, but wouldn't need to download them every day. Maybe 4 times a month. And a 3 gb file perhaps once a month.
We would probably watch 3 hrs of tv on a weekday. Both of us could be watching different things though, so that would be 6 hrs. And skype, could even be 6 hrs a day- does that use a lot of bandwidth?

I can't get high speed broadband where I live, so sorry have no idea about the amount of bandwidth you're likely to burn through with that criteria.

I am on a 300 gb plan..I work from home using the computer about 5 - 6 hours/day and then my kids and wife use it probably about the same (other computer)...we don't download on to the TV and have skype....our max has been 150 gb/month but now we are down in the 90-100 gb/month plan.

The overage charges on lower plans can really eat into things which may make people go to a higher plan..make sure that your router and modem/router are not double counting your downloading.

Thank you for the replies. Just signed up with novus 250 gb. We will give it a go, then change if necessary.

Do you use more bandwidth accessing sites in Germany?

Bandwidth means the actual amount of data you're downloading and is usually expressed in megabits a second, e.g. 20 Mbits/s.

What you appear to talking about is a cap on data download.

250GB is a fair amount, the typical hard drive in a computer nowadays is around 500GB so half the capacity of what your computer can hold, you would be unlikely to hit it unless you do really heavy-duty video downloads.

On a typical 20 Mbits/s home internet connection (typical in Canada anyway), that equals about 140 megabytes a minute, which is about 8.2 GB an hour, so you'd have to be downloading at full clip for 30 hours to use a 250GB limit.

If you download a lot of movies you might get there.

Why germany? Im not from germany.

Install a bandwidth monitor. Read this and there's a couple of downloads in there as well.

Clicky

+1 to all that. I am not even sure if there is a Telco provider that will provide that much?

Even a lot of movies in .mkv format (downloaded Taken 2 yesterday and it was only 350mb) won't get you close anytime soon.

If the OP is going to be doing work with heavy files that need to be accessed from outside the country, you are better off just uploading it somewhere and have people grab it from there ina n FTP'ish way

Bell. Fibre OP. Unlimited.

Is it avail in all areas and how much does it cost?

+1 I'm on 30/30 but for some reason they have upgraded it to 50/30 at no extra charge recently. So much porn so little time.

I'd suggest checking their website. It was launched in Atlantic Canada & standalone costs around $30 a month.
