Even if I did start the download now, it would be almost tomorrow morning by the time it was done. I'm also not the only one in the house. On top of that I have TONS of games from the Steam sale and I'm downloading the ones I want to play most over time until I can get to an internet café / friends house with my laptop again. I would like to play but I can't.
I live in canada too... And I have 320gb cap...
I live literally in the middle of nowhere. It's the best internet you can get in my area. Satellite would be better for downloads, but uploading and online gaming would just be dreadful. My internet runs off of the local cell service actually.
This whole transition to downloading games / movies / music online saves a lot of time and it's much easier. But it seems like all the people offering those things think everyone has access to decent internet. Having more Steam activate able games in store or just PC games in general would be nice.
