    That’s still not that much data. Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth. Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.

      Gaming is 10-20% of the ISPs total network load, and the MW3 launch constituted like a 110% increase over base network load, so yes it’s a lot of data.

      Advertisements and crawlers constantly use up far more bandwidth.

      Crawlers rely on private connections between datacenters, very little of that traffic touches residential ISPs

      Fight the real problems instead of blaming the users.

      Literally no one is blaming users - There are plenty enough reasons to hate most ISPs, we don’t have to make up facts to find new ways to be mad.
