Re: I think it's safe to say that we can now officially.... "I've read stories from a user who swear he monitored and did not exceed 50GB."
The Check is in the post.

said by Rick:And, you elevate yourself to a much LOWER level..IMHO. Elevate to a lower level?That makes as much sense as the rest of the post.
I've never had a problem with the cap cause I've never downloaded that much.I do have a problem with my "unlimited" account being limited. |

Oh, and what about when my Adobe and Microsoft programs phone home and "uploads" information to confirm that my Adobe and Microsoft programs are legitimate?
According to you, I am in violation of the Comcast TOS agreement because at that time when my programs phone home and uploads information I am acting as a server.
Oh and one more thing, in BitTorrent there are no true servers. All packets are sent and received simultaneously, thus the PC acts as both peer and server.

To Rick. I, unfortunately, am a Comcast customer. Thanks to the monopoly (which I thought was illegal) I have no choice but to use their services (but that is another argument). Let me see if I understand.... You determine reasonable usage as 20 to 100 gigs or so a month (a loose quote),and people who may, occasionally, need to check in with their workplace or p2p users are lowlifes eating up your bandwidth. Well, I am homemaker and not employed outside the home but I am a p2p user. I have never downloaded any copy righted material contrary to the popular belief of any using the evil p2p. Also, in the 5 (five) years I have been using my p2p client, I only have 128 gigs (i just checked) of download/uploads. That works out to roughly 2.14 gigs a month in comparison to your reasonable usage. So, how do you figure that I am abusing your or anyone elses bandwidth. Now, thanks to Comcast, uploads are not just restricted or slow they are being completely stopped. So, please explain to me with your wisdom, how this does not constitute denial of service and illegal activities on the part of Comcast. |

I pay quite abit more than 50$ a month.I pay extra for my speed up and down.Nowhere did anything say I couldent use the speed I Payed for for bit torrent.if it had been clearly stated that the speed I PAY for wasent to be used for bit torrent I would still be on their baseline plan.They mislead us into buying a service we are not aloud to use. |
