Re: Heads up on EUP

You have it wrong, I am never happy in any way, shape or form to loose a paying customer. I do not mind loosing someone who is actually costing my company to have instead of us making money. That is basic business. Deal with it.

In the same vein, If I loan my car to a neighbor to drive around town, and they then use it as a taxi service..well..they are not going to get my car again for any amount of money. I strongly look after my company's money, let's leave it at that.

As far as numbers, I do not have those numbers. If you get a EUP warning letter from Qwest, back off on the downloads. Simple as that. In order for you to get that warning, you are doing some SERIOUS traffic and should be on a frame circuit instead of a paltry DSL line anyways. You don't buy a Yugo and then try to drive it like a Porche.

Peace
So what are the limits? The part of the EUP I posted I would never hit. But like I said I shoot high quality photos as a hobby and because I have a two year old. My wife loves to exchange toddler photos with out of state friends. I do not watch that much online TV as in no time but when I do it is high quality. Should I start always picking low quality to play and shoot??
It is costing your company money. You help put out as vague a warning as the EUP. When I am home I can really use my connection if I ignore my two year old. Maybe I should and see what these limits are?
Plus I like a the definition normal user. One to 3 gigs a month. Some email and light web browsing. Oh and yes your child should be able to get some mp3s from amazon or walmart or apple. Sure. The net has more to offer today and much more video and other fun normal none RIAA stuff. My monthly usage is up and down depending on my free time. There are older people and disabled people that have time to stay at home and use the internet as a social network. It is a balance like all things. Those hardly using the net should be able to easily subsidize a few higher users. Or like I asked earlier is the Qwest backbone even worse than say a cell provider like Verizon or Sprint. There are those that put 1-3 gigs on a cell phone even without tethering.
Now I am making the presumption this is just usage related and semi abnormal. Not pushing real servers like for porn or having drastic RIAA file sharing going on. That I could understand.
Other question as I have not looked in awhile but I guess Qwest did away with business class DSL. Business class DSL at a higher price to cover the usage but without the same SLA of a T1. Plus moving to another ISP may not help as reading here the new 7meg service is Qwest or MSN only. So could not even switch in some cases to another ISP.
Maybe Qwest should bring back business class DSL. Some people just need DSL for business. A T1 may not be optimal for everything. Not even the price but not optimal.
