What's the point

What you people do not understand is.. all they are selling you is a way to surf the net and check email. Anything else is considered a violation of their TOS. What they are pushing is an end to home use and to put everyone up on business class. What I would do (pending this is 50/50) is run an Icecast2 server and an IRCD but not unless I order business class service. So stop your bitching and if you don't like them capping you call the business office and order their business services or switch to Verizon.

The rest of us are still in the 20'th century. Enjoy your new speeds.

Using your connection for stuff other then viewing websites and checking email is not business class service. If that were true what would be the point of even using Optimum Online? Just use dial up, or cheap DSL. The speeds are there, and you should be allowed to use them.

Yes I agree that some people overuse their connection, but OOL just goes overboard with their capping. I think people would be much happier if they were told what got them capped, or if they received a message like you're about to be capped, or were at least told about the cap by OOL without having to come to dslreports.com just to find out it exists.

Thank you! Exactly. Stop the bitching and stop running Kazaa, Limewire and WinMX all god damn night hogging up bandwidth. I've never been capped in the 4 years I've had OOL. NEVER!
