Re: [E-Mail] I got the letter...
While I can see your point in feeling like you should be able to download to what they offer in any amount. Theres two things from this .. one just maybe just maybe your a parent and your kids are doing this without your knowing. Just maybe you could have a virus or something as if you were unfamiliar with things and this was your notice that something is up. Theres alot of maybes .. how are they to know who and what is in your house and how well you know things.
I also a fairly big internet user HOWEVER i dont want the right to be able to download with limits and things lost. So theres a common sense thing, if you push things to the limit and everyone else does it theres going to be rules that will EFFECT ALL OF US. Then where does it get you? Instead.. try taking that as a note that well maybe I need to "lessen" what im doing. If your not doing much then something else is wrong, and they DO HAVE THE RIGHT to monitor the network. I hate to tell you the bad news but whomever you go to its the same way. You want unlimited and the works buy a T1 or go business.

Evansville, IN | I MAYBE download 100 gigs a month, might be about equal on the upload, and have slightly heavily used 2-line VOIP, so you're saying I am using my account too much and should buy a business line ? |

| said by Couch Potato  :100 gigs a month, might be about equal on the upload right there is probably your reason uploads are the cause of most letters ive seen people get (unless your doing HUGE HUGE amounts on downloads) My suggestion is cut it about 50% .. otherwise your going to need to go into a business account for your home/apartment.
Its real simple its basically the same but as your going to hate to hear its going to cost more and youll get less speed. Last I heard the 6mb pack I think was like $90.
Just call them and ask »www.insightbusiness.com/sm_data_services.php the reps are cool .. ask about download and uploads limits and which packages.

The Viop is on a different line of bandwidth, and not factored in with the computer use. The upload is what is "monitored" Heavy upload is usually equated with file sharing and virus/spyware issues, and clogs up the servers. Also, when you do sign up for service, you agree to go by the policies of the service. |

Xanmi , that is not entirely true. If he has the Insight phone service through the modem then yes it is routed differently, but if he is using 3rd party voip service such as Packet 8 or Vontage then no it will utilize his upstream and downstream via his cable modem. |
