| Bit Torrent gets all the blame....
However, I consider myself to be a heavy user. All of my traffic is legal. I use VPN for work, along with all the usual computer stuff, FTP, etc.
I also have an Xbox 360 and a Wii in the house that gets used quite heavily. The Xbox in particular is connected to Live for all sorts of things. Xbox live arcade is a big bandwidth hog.
My point is, it doesn’t take "illegal BT downloads" to use extensive amounts of bandwidth. So am I supposed to keep a log of all my uses to make sure I don’t go over an invisible cap that I never even knew about? |

| I dunno why you guys are arguing soooo much.
I doubt comcast's network is at fault.
Its the friggin' nodes that are oversaturated.
In response to this issue, comcast is taking excuse to punish users that actually want to use their connection.
MY MESSAGE TO COMCAST:
UPGRADE YOUR NODES!!! STOP INVESTING BILLIONS IN THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT, AND RATHER SPEND IT IN NODE SPLITTING AND MORE CHANNELS, OR DOCSIS 3.0!!!
Also, if it is in fact the network, all comcast needs to do is to upgrade the DWDM optical links b/w the routers.
BTW, IMHO, if comcast has the resources to get equipment that can sort through millions of packets and monitor them, then I think that comcast can perfectly well upgrade its routers.
If all else fails, stop advertising such HUGE download rates, and rather be open and reduce the speeds to more achievable levels.
And, NO, this doesnt mean dialup speeds.
and I don't want some kind of comcast fanboy jackass to just invent some rash defense of comcast, as anyone trying to deny such cold, hard truths probably has some kind of interest in comcast. |
