WoW ! Australian ISPs really seem to suck. Caps, high prices, and now this.  Also note this is another OPT-out program by a company. Companies never do it the other way around... Because they know customers wouldn't.

The minority obviously spoiled it for the majority.
But in the end they won't block P2P traffic, I assume? |

How big a webspace are they offering? My ISP (Eastlink) has a webspace so small that there's no way you could have any copyrighted materials.
Congratulations Exetel - you are todays ILS (Internet laughing stock) |

| I NEVER use ISP services other than the connection itself
I never use ISP webspace, email or anything other than the connection. Occasionally I'll use an ISP's usenet servers but even that is rare. I used my ISP's portal until they turned it into a flash-bloated POS.
Too bad I'm still paying for all that other crap.

From Exetel's FAQs:
# You have 60 Mbytes capacity for your web space
# Traffic to and from your web space does not count towards your ADSL plan allowances |

Re: Stupid
Thanks for that...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a little bird tells me that roughly 30 minutes of typical quality video averages around 180MB. They must have a beef with smaller files, like mp3. Why not just ban that particular file type?
Draconian and dumb if you ask me. Hopefully their customers leave in droves. |

Re: Say goodbye...
Well if your only copy is sitting on a ISP's public webspace, you deserve to have your content deleted. It's going to happen accidentally at some point, it being on purpose will just teach you the lesson more quickly. |

Re: Stupid
I wonder how many are even using the webspace. I've fired up my Comcast personal webspace maybe twice in the 7 years I've had the service. I'm the only person I know who has done this. (and most people I know use Comcast, because the alternative is 768k DSL) |
