<p>amak, I think it's only like $1.50 per gb after the 10gb limit, but I'm sure xbox live will fill your quota pretty quickly if you game regularly. </p>
<p>I think that there are free (fairly inaccurate) programs that will monitor your bandwidth, so you can see how much you use now per month, and then you can see how it will affect you. I plan on trying one, I just wanted to get some input first.</p>

<p>This tells you how much bandwidth you've used, updated daily.</p>

<p>Not a big deal....I barely went over the limit in the 2 GB days....my biggest bill for usage was 28 cents and when I called the bursar about it they said I didn't have to pay b/c it would cost them more then 28 cents to process the payment.</p>
<p>Playing games online, including on Xbox Live, will not use very much bandwidth. However, downloading game demos will typically use about 1gb and often more.</p>
<p>As always transferring copy written material that you don't have the right to distribute is illegal. The DC++ server at Cornell is set to only allow people at Cornell to connect to it and you can't get on the Cornell network unless you're a student or work at Cornell. So if the RIAA, MPAA, etc wanted to they could probably get a student to let them on the network and view what was going on on DC++. At least so far they don't seem too interested in doing this and they have more than enough people to sue on Limewire and other public P2P programs that require a lot less work for them to catch people on.</p>
<p>you can't get blood from a turnip</p>
<p>aMak, you should be fine. I play on LIVE several times a week, and browse the internet/download stuff and I haven't gone over the limit yet. The closest I've come so far was 8.5 GB, and the other months are about 7.5 GB.</p>
<p>If you log out of your Net ID (just close your internet browser) and then reopen your browser, anything you do won't count towards your bandwidth. I watch live streaming nba games every other night on my laptop and my usage doesn't go up at all</p>
<p>@ kartrider: so what happens to you? you pay extra $?</p>
<p>sorry to hijack this thread, but can we still have our cornell.edu email addresses after graduation?</p>
<p>Your email will still be working for a few months after graduation. After that, you will need to forward your Cornell email to a new email account. In other words, your email address is still active (I still get email that's sent to my Cornell email address) but you won't have a Cornell email account.</p>
