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?

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.

I had dsl before cable and the "no server" was in Verizon's TOS.

Ah, but I am not bound by the Verizon TOS. My provider has no explicit prohibition against running servers.

No invisible caps. No prohibition of servers. 2GB mailboxes per email account. Up to 500 disposable email addresses per email account I've never needed more than 1.5 Meg down. I am not quite certain how I am getting "less" service.

It isn't a matter of "forgetting" anything; I know what I am getting. I know that it isn't worth the extra $30 per month I'd pay to double my download speed.

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.

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.

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.

Dear Insight Broadband Customer,

Insight monitors network usage to ensure that all Insightbb.com customers consistently receive the highest quality service available, as detailed in our Acceptable Use Policy.

You may not be aware that your modem has been transferring data at a very high rate for an extended period, causing degradation of service to others. Now that you know, we request your cooperation.

Excessive sustained bandwidth usage places a burden on the network and is in violation of the Insightbb.com Acceptable Use Policy (see sections vii and viii. ) which explains that you may not:

vii. restrict, inhibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of any other person, regardless of intent, purpose or knowledge, to use or enjoy the Service, including, without limitation, posting or transmitting any information or software which contains a worm, virus or other harmful feature, or generating levels of traffic sufficient to impede others' ability to send or retrieve information;

viii. restrict, inhibit, interfere with or otherwise disrupt or cause a performance degradation or manipulation, regardless of intent, purpose or knowledge, to the Service or any Insight (or Insight supplier) host, server, backbone network, node or service, or otherwise cause a performance degradation or manipulation to any Insight (or Insight supplier) facilities used to deliver the Service.

We have found most excessive bandwidth users are running servers, using Newsgroups or using online file sharing programs such as KaZaa, BitTorrent and others.

We feel it our responsibility to alert you to the dangers of online file sharing applications and offer suggestions as to what can be done to protect yourself as well as reduce the amount of bandwidth being used by your account. For instance:

There are a number of viruses designed specifically to spread through peer-to-peer networks. Your best defense is to keep your anti-virus software updated. If a file you download seems smaller in size than expected, you should avoid running it. Many of the viruses that exist at the moment will rename themselves to mimic popular programs, music, or videos in hopes that the victim will open it.
Most of the file sharing applications contain "spyware" that is used by affiliates and marketing companies. Besides being an invasion of your privacy, many End User License Agreements (EULAs) grant these companies the power to use your extra bandwidth, processor cycles, memory, and drive space as they see fit.
