The worst part about it is that cable TV rates are minuscule in comparison. My internet plan is for 40 GB combined up/down. And since uploads aren't nearly as much as downloads (unless you're web-cam heavy), its probably pretty similar to what you've got overall. But my cable package lets me watch as much as I want each month for a few bucks less each month. And, since its all by the same provider ... in the end THEY GO DOWN THE SAME FIBRE OPTIC CABLES!!!1!!!. So 3 hr/day x 5 days a week (weekdays), + 5 hr/day 2 days a week (weekends) nets 25 hr/wk ~110/mo. That might even be a little light for how much my TV is on. Figuring in 2 GB/hr of TV quality video ... that yields more than 5x more data sent to my TV than to my computer, yet my service provider wants more for my internet.




Sorry for the off-topic rant

The OP was asking about Steam online game-retailer Summer Sale buys?
