nzgeek: I got switched over at 6pm tonight. My previous cap was 200GB, but I never went past about 80% usage. It's actually costing me a few dollars more per month, but I like not having to worry about the cap. It'll come in handy when the next Steam sale rolls around, which is usually in June.

Evening: Would it be safe to assume that as most ISPs will be jumping on the Unlimited bandwagon and as SNAP is not the cheapest of the pack that we might be safely insulated from the "linux enthusiasts" as one could assume they would be hitting the cheapest options on the market ala Bigpipe etc?

Hopefully you are right.

I suspect that Evening is correct here. Snap weren't the first to go unlimited, and they're not the cheapest. I would say that the worst of the bandwidth leeches have already gone elsewhere, and those that are left were probably paying for a higher data cap anyway.

Also, you can't compare the situation today with how things were a year or 2 ago. It wasn't all that long ago that a 30GB cap was "massive", and now it's common to find plans with 100GB or more. There are also a number of ISPs doing unlimited data, so the customer load will be spread around quite a bit more than in the past.

Out of curiosity has anyone been noticing strange speed issues since this has launched?

What sort of speed issues?

Ping monitor on my connection seems fine, and it's the same as before the switch took place for me onto unlimited plan last Friday.
