said by GLIMMER  :but you posted in the insight forum and I was relating to what we have not comcast and I believe some areas have 16mbit service with comcast now. I am surprised that Insight is so cheap. Given what people are paying for Comcast, TWC Road Runner, and were paying for Adelphia before it went under, I was under the impression that cable HSI was on the order of $40 per month, and up.
No 16M service in Comcast regions not going head to head against Verizon FIOS, AFAIK.
Oh, BTW, isn't Insight the company that sold off some of its holdings to Comcast?

said by GLIMMER :DOUBLE YOUR SPEED? last time I checked 1.5+1.5=3 I have 10meg service that runs at 12meg which is 8 times faster than yours. So I do get more and I have 1 gig of email storage which is more than enough considering I store my email comp side. Last I checked att was selling there 1.5 dsl for 19.99 which is only 10bucks less. And ATT does monitor for some servers it is in there aup. I said, "I've never needed more than 1.5 Meg down". I never said I only had 1.5 Meg DSL service. I am paying $17.99 per month for "at&t Yahoo! HSI, Pro", which is 3008kbps/512kbps. After ATM overhead, about 2,500kbps down. Comcast only offers 4 Meg service for "naked" cable HSI, at $56.95 per month. Last I checked, 4 Meg is a tad short of double 2.5 Meg.
Comcast is all there is for cable HSI around here, and getting cable HSI plus Basic TV, while getting me their 6 Meg package, also means paying $13.41 for TV service I will never use; the landlady won't unhook her DirecTV, and I don't watch enough to run cable to my own set.
No Insight BB in the S.F. Bay Area; at least not at the south end of it.

cough the magic number is different from every other system and is depedant on the node and if it is a high traffic node.
Most systems have it at around 5 to 10 gig |

said by GLIMMER :that would be a server and against the TOS and AUP..... So insight is well within there rights to limit you. Time to get a 2.5" HD and take it to work this is what I do now for this very reason Curious. So Insight won't let you set up a computer so you can access it yourself? Even though you can configure said server so only you can access it?
I am glad I live in a region covered by an ISP with no such restriction. Cheaper than cable, too.

It is my understand from a few friends working the departments handling this, that it's your upload rates they're concerned with, not downloading. If you're saturating the connection with a lot of torrent uploading action, then that's when they're going to send you a notification like that. Apparently, and I don't know if I'm supposed to say this, but it's about 5 gigs max upload per day...that's the magic number. Just make sure none of your machines is uploading an insane amount of anything  |

said by DevilOnE :how am i suppose to know how much bandwidth i used? I can't tell you to the bit how much I have downloaded in a given time period. However, by checking folder dates and sizes, I can estimate that I have downloaded roughly 200GB of data over the last two years. Which is, really, pretty light duty work.
