Again, yet. I don't even understand why you're opposed to the idea of putting safeguards against this kind of bullstuff. The only argument you have given so far is that it 'probably won't be that bad', but we're in complete power to prevent it from being bad at all.
It's like someone is trying to tell you that you're about to get hit in the head with a baseball, and you're too lazy to move even a foot to the side.

i get a max of 150 kilobytes/s download speed and i rarely reach that. usually it's 50 kilobytes/s

Yeah in smaller towns that tends to happen since the network infrastructure isn't there/is very poor. Cities will always get the best internet.

I'm not against safeguards like this, I just find the people blowing this stuff out of proportion to be annoying.

Your login information, chat history, and all your account activity that isn't handled through one of steam's web api's (because their website is https). So in reality,
They already have this information.
You're naive if you think that the majority of your communications are encrypted.

so an isp can only see that you connected to a https site but not your activity, but they could see your activity if it were just http?

So you can at least admit that this is a stuffty bill - while the magnitude of the stufftyness isn't completely certain?

Correct. Http sends data in plain text form.
