I don't think I could ever come close to even 10GB with my residential cable connection. It would take months to upload that much.

Are you being cute about limits, or did you make a math error?

A dial up modem can do gigabytes per month...

I don't see that limit anymore. Have they updated the page? Especially with 200MB limit per photo this seems really odd.

Yes, it looks like someone's editing that page in real time now!

I know what you mean but this sounds like something off CSI

The Doublr plan is a strange offer. Wonder if there's a miscommunication on that.

I did not find it strange. You get 1TB extra i.e total 2 TB + no ads. Some interesting observations -- the cost of Free account for Yahoo is -- 450$ per free-user/year. So, lets be prepared to get ads all around. :)

1. Sign up for 2 accounts. 2. Adblock 3. ???? 4. Profit

So 1 TB is free, but an extra 1 TB is $500/yr?! I'm not sure I understand that. On another note, I (surprisingly) like how the disemvoweling is becoming synonymous with the Yahoo brand (with Tumblr now as well). What seemed stale is starting to seem fresh again. Playful, almost, like a wink to Web 2.0 -- though I imagine it could be perceived as being out of touch too, if they don't play it right.

roughly, very roughly - 90%+ of the people on the 1 TB plan will likely use < 20 Gigabytes (at least over the next couple years), and probably 99% will use less than 100 gigabytes, whereas close to 100% of the people on the doublr plan will be using at least 1 Terabyte.

best explanation of their pricing structure yet. What's stopping people from creating multiple accounts and use flickr as a cloud backup system for free?

Check again, the mention of 300MB/month is gone. Looks like old copy cache.

Humour me, but are you on the Flickr team? I'm seeing that page change before my very eyes, clearly as a "oh shit!" response when the discrepancies were noticed, and the cache excuse is as old as time.

Probably just didn't get all the edits in from the old FAQs. No reason for the accusations.

Or you could go to some place with high bandwidth and you know, upload them from there...

Where would the average person find some place with higher bandwidth than their residential cable connection?

Not being able to upload 10GB in months is a pretty slow residential cable connection. So presumably find somewhere with a faster one (like an internet cafe, library, etc). It shouldn't be hard to find a place with a free connection that'll let you send 0.5MB/sec, which means you can clear 10GB in about 5.5 hours (if my quick math is right) - not a terribly long time. Of course, in most urban areas, at least in the US, it's not hard to get a connection with more like 2-3MB/s, on which you could upload 10GB in about 1hr.
