Re: My Bandwith
And cable companies' customers will take a slight speed loss with the switch to DSL upon receiving these notices, and live happily ever after without nonsensical upload caps on well maintained networks.
Bittorrent becoming mainstream for legal downloads is a VERY good thing.
Most people don't notice these caps until they've had their ISP for a year. The reason ISPs can get away with invisible caps is because joe negro average user has not found out yet, and joe negro average user makes up 90% of their customers.
Once all of those people find out about this nonsense(and once everyone starts using this service, comcast will certainly be sending out more letters for less bandwidth used), it won't just be the enthusiasts who care. It'll be everyone who cares, and they'll actually have to upgrade their network before putting powerboost/8 mbps downstream into play.
I use comcast as an example because I am familiar with their nonsense. Any cable ISP can fit in there. |
