I have downloaded 3TB every month for the last 4 months on my 10meg connection with NO slowdown or capping. Charter is the best ISP for no caps as well as Verizon FIOS. Extreme speed with no caps is great! |

Extreme speed with no caps is great! Maybe they SHOULD institute caps. 3 TB is WAY too much. You are obviously downloading illegal stuff. It's people like you that make it hard on the rest of us. |

| Actually it was using muguito. If you read up on muguito, you will see that it is not illegal at all. It hammers fraudalent websites by reloading images and banners on them to deplete their bandwidth to take them off the web. I also downloaded a few DVD's which is only like 20gb a month. The rest was all muguito. |

Wait, so did you just admit to a form of DOS attacks? Seems illegal to me to use a program to try and take down websites you don't happen to agree with, regardless of what those websites are. If those websites aren't operating illegally, I don't think you have the right to interfere wth them, despite their product.

Rice Lake, WI | Seems kind of vigilante. It seems like this has been discussed before here (in the form of a screensaver that attacked known spammers while idling)... |

It sounds like DDOS but it is not at all. It just continually downloads an image or page banner of the website in hopes of the web host shutting the site off because of high bandwidth usage. It is not DDOS by any means. If you would search "muguito" you would see what I mean. |

Ah, so. I see it's part of some Artists Action 419 or something. I also see they've dropped using it since Sept. 07. Or maybe they just want people to think that.
As you were... |

If they have these Caps then I would see a letter. In the last 45 Days I have downloaded Legal Videos and Software which tallied over 10GB. Have yet to see my letter from Charter. This is not the first month I have done this. My 10MB is rock solid. I get 1.1MB/S all the time. |
