Re: Selfish

The speed limit analogy was thoroughly shot down in the above mentioned thread. I could post it all here if you'd like.

When Cogeco pulls shit or neglects things that directly affect you, why do you bother lodging your complaints or looking for people to understand? Just take it like a good apologist. You say you suspect Cogeco is BSing you about the PVR issues. You know what? I care about that. I care because it's yet another example of trouble with this provider. I care because it could affect me one day if I chose to go the same route as you. I may not now and see no need for a PVR, but life is flud, things change. You, too, could hit the wall with caps one day if you ever got heavily into internet video and online media distribution.

Once more, in 2007, there are plenty of LEGAL sources of downloadable content that can easily push one up and above the (low) hard caps. If you don't know what I'm referring to, see the above mentioned giant bitcap thread --> »[Niagara] Cogeco Bitcaps

I stand by what I said. You did not need to gloat (you "couldn't be happier") over many, many people having their service disconnected (do you fail to understand how vital an internet connection (VOIP, for one?) is in people's lives these days), there are plenty of alternatives to cutting people off.

I have never had a problem with latency or "slowness" in my area and if I did, that's Cogeco's fault for not having the proper infrastructure in place, not my neighbors for using the service they pay for. I am not God, I cannot see into their modems and cannot just start accusing them of "bandwidth stealing", whatever that means. I stand by my opinion of your review.

I also read that you sometimes get tv shows off friends ftp's.
Where do you think those tv shows come from thin air?
I mean its nice to enjoy Cogeco's service but don't show yourself as holier than thou.
And for me at least this is not the only Problem I've had with Cogeco(bitcaps), It's not throwing ten years of great service out the window.
Its been a steady declince in Cogeco's services over the years. The bitcap is the straw that broke the camels back.
