I think it's mostly the cheap ass in me but if someone says your paying for x amount, and it doesn't roll over, I feel cheated if I don't go to the cap in the allotted days. It was funny but telling when I told them that and they just made 1 click and removed my cap. For a while there I stayed far below the 250GB a month that the cap was at. It wasn't until my son and wife decided that they wanted to stream videos on their tablets that I started to go back up there again. My wife streams as much as she can from the xfinity app so they really can't complain too much because we are using the service that they wanted us to use. We would use it all the time if it wasn't for certain networks being greedy by making you have to go through their site to see their shows.

I have all of my Steam games backed up to a master disk I use for restoration when I install a new HDD. I have it mainly because no matter how fast my connection is, I don't have to wait too long when I install a new OS to play games. I have quite a few disk drives that I use for utility purposes. When I had under 200 games (roughly 300GB) on steam it wasn't too bad but at that time my connection at tops was around 20Mbs so it still took a while to install. My Steam profile takes up around 2.5TB and even with a 130Mbs connection it would take forever to install. It wasn't for the data caps that I used less, it was more about the time it would take for me to restore what I already have.

The funny thing is that I just got some tape drives and they are slow as hell but they are awesome for archiving data. I'm going to be storing pictures and videos that can never be taken again. I would love to backup all of my data to tapes but I don't have the cash to do so. The higher capacity tape drives that support higher capacity tapes cost a hell of a lot more than I have.

Sorry for going on too much about everything.
