Re: Thorttling? Heh Heh
said by W8ASA  :I think that if a customer purchase a certain bandwidth/speed, then he should be allowed to use that speed. Of course, speeds will vary as more users are online on a particular node (like cable in the evenings), but an ISP should NEVER throttle a user on purpose. If I ever became aware that my connection was being throttled (no, I never abuse it, by the way), I would immediately fire my ISP. I've paid for the speed: Now, let me use it. Sadly, firing your isp isn't always a good option. Taking your money and running just saves you, but leaves everyone back there to suffer.
A lot of people in this world act like this. Save themselves, everyone else be damned. It might even be human nature.
Sometimes I think we need to stand and fight for the better good of everyone. I think this is one of those issues.

| You make an excellent point, and I agree with you. Running only solves the short-term problem. Standing together as a group of millions of users worldwide might get more attention - if indeed this affects that many.
I don't know how widespread this actually is, and I suppose there is no way to find out.
