Only possible with uncompressed data, such as bitmaps or text files.

I am connected with an @Home cable connection. Advertised as 1 to 2 MBit. I easily achieve 100KByte/sec downloads, so it's not far from the truth. Upstream is limited to ~15Kbyte/sec :-/,

We pay 45EUR/month for it (but we share the connect with 3 persons). No download/upload limits ('fair use policy', but I've downloaded in excess of 6 gig sometimes (excluding my roommates, so total even higher) and we haven't had any guys knocking on our door yet :-))).

Overall I'm quite satisfied with @Home.
