REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION!

Is there a data usage (Upload & download limit) on this device or am I free to download & upload as much as I desire?

PLEASE REPLY! URGENT!

IT WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED!

@oSydro Hi sorry i missed this question before.

But the the time capsule is just a gateway for your network. So it won't limit your upload and download speeds. The only limits are from your broadband package you have with your ISP and if there's a data cap or not in your package.

Hope this makes sense.

@DanWantsTech Thank you and can this replace my current broadband provider?

What I mean is can I just use THIS and THIS ONLY for my internet connection? (No internet provider, no extra router)

If so, that means I can just plug this into the wall, set it up on my iMac and use this as my only internet connection without being with a internet/broadband provider e.g. Eircom, Vodafone and UPC.

Thank you so much, my Dad will be delighted if this is true! :D

@oSydro well you have to sign up with an internet provider to get broadband, this box doesn't provide it, it's only a gateway that connects your computers and wireless devices together, it has to, in turn, be connected to a router that is provided by either Eircom, UPC, Vodafone etc.

You'll have to buy a package from them and connect the time capsule to the ISP router you get. I think you might be confused as to what the time capsule is for?
