gollark: It still seems implausibly high.
gollark: (I know Gb is gigabit, not sure if you *meant* that)
gollark: Is that gigabit or gigabyte?
gollark: Making downloading costly can be explained by accursed copyright weirdness. Video for no apparent reason is very ???.
gollark: Weird. Why would they *want* more traffic?
