Re: [Cable HSI] Mediacom MAX 20/2

said by Hardcore:

Why do you see upload as so important?

The only reason why people need such a high upload are to run servers and P2P.

P2P, no matter how someone tries to make it look, is a piracy app. That's why ISPs are so nuts about usage caps and upload speeds.

If you want to run a server, you might as well go on and get a T3 or so. Stop trying to use a residential service for your hosting needs, and get some better support while you're at it.

While I'm not familiar in-depth with Mediacom's AUP, I can't really say whether or not they allow servers. But there's no real reason why people clamor for higher upload with the exception of what I've previously stated.

Of course, this is all my opinion, and YMMV.
WHO the hell said anything about servers?

Do the math, a family of 4 computers all gaming at the same time equals huge upload speeds, what if I want to connect and play Flight Sim X with a friend and host the game? That's not against policy, I can do that, and the added upload helps.

I see upload as so important because everytime you try to access a webpage you use your upload, everytime I connect to a game and use ventrillo or team speak I use my upload.
