Apparantly Tokyo has the most Live players for a city. According to that article anyway (or so it suggests).

"Quality over quantity"
They told me that I hadn't been using more than that, and they are probably right. That is like 500 MB a day. But occasionally I download entire linux ISOs, I play Live etc, so I might actually reach it.
Still, I've realised that I really could do with a proper ISP email address.

Really? Well it's more generous than 1 or 2Gb, but I bet I could still use it all up :D
Perhaps not on all packages, but I got a letter through from BT saying that they had introduced a 15 GB monthly bandwidth cap. However it was cheaper as well. I was going to move, probably to Plusnet 2 MB anyway.
Nothing wrong with BT Broadband either - just that Plusnet and Pipex are much cheaper.
Pipex.

Plusnet with the premier option, or pipex. There, sorted.

It's never going to get very big though is it?
I mean, take 95% of the worlds population away, who actually can't get it and have far different concerns, then another 4% for people who aren't interested, then another 0.8 or so, and it's about right. Still not massive as such, but enough to have some good games.
