Re: Heads up on EUP

[You seem real happy about cutting them off also. If I had the time I could easily use some bandwidth just watching videos on the computer. Not downloading just watching. A few linux packages, some good free software. Servers are allowed or has that also changed? So share some photos with family members. I shoot high quality. Plus if I send or put high quality on the server they can get prints if they want or not.
Sounds as if you think Qwest should charge per bit.
So what is extreme usage? Yes I read the EUP but what is Qwest enforcing?
Or is it Qwest is to broke to upgrade the gateways or whatever they are called? My DSL connection is solid but the gateway connections seem to be overburdened at night.

"Rather, here are examples of the type of usage that could be deemed excessive:
• 300,000-500,000 photo downloads in one month
• 40,000 to 80,000 typically sized MP3 music downloads in one month
• 15+ million unique e-mails each month
• Online TV video streaming of 1,000-3,000 30-minute shows each month
• 2-5 million Web page visits (approximately one every second, 24 hours per day)"
So are these the lowest possible quality phoots ever. I tend to shoot and share RAW images. Those files can add up. I watch nowhere near that much TV. But am I supposed to watch say the lowest quality video stream and not dare stream what quality I want to watch and the connection handle? These terms are rather vague. To you a photo may be lowest quality black and white. To me highest quality my camera will shoot. My one photo may equal a thousand of what Qwest thinks is a photo.
