I think Quantum will back me up here in saying that it is not possible to upload 8GB in a day through a 384kbps connection! >:(

I hope you've rang them and called them idiots.
384kbps = 48kBps = 2880kBp(min) = 172800kBp(hour) = 4147200kBp(day) =4050mBp(day) = 3.955gBp(day)
So you couldn't upload that much in 2 days, even on absolute theoretical maximum.
TheNightWatchman:
Yes I sent them an email with that calculation. They gave me the GBs back and apologised for it ::)

;D Good for you NWM. Its a shame they wouldnt catch themselves on and be like the rest of us. No limit on downloads 24/7. Technology is so good these days that they still rip you off,
cheers
Synbios:
3772 Kbps 233 Kbps <- Charter in Worcester 4Mbps/256kbps plan.
5701 Kbps 356 Kbps <- Old Comcast 6Mbps/384kbps plan.
I haven't had a chance to run a test on our new comcast at my parent's house yet. I will run it next time I'm home for vacation. But when I was using it over the summer I did get pretty close to 8Mbps and 768kbps upload : p
I heard the cap for comcast is around 50 gigs a month. I download as much as I want and I haven't had a problem yet, I don't think I've hit that cap yet though.
