Does anyone know if uploads count toward the cap as well? I'd imagine that they would, even though uploads are severely throttled as it is.
I tend to watch my slingbox every now and again at work, and it is using my home connection to stream the video to me. Sometimes I'll let a recorded concert, soccer game, etc. play on my second monitor as background noise. Based on a quick calculation, this uses about 0.36 gigs per hour (800 kbps), which could add up I suppose.
FYI - this thread on a techy forum has some people smarter than myself monitoring their bandwidth while watching a movie on Netflix in HD. The gist of it is that you're probably going to use about 2 gigs per hour of HD Netflix viewing, which is obviously about 3 gigs for a 1.5 hour movie.
