Re: [E-Mail] I got the letter...
I have vontage and I download alot also. I have been doing this on insightbb for years and have never received a letter about it (knock on wood). VOIP shouldn't use that data and my phone is literally in use at least 20hrs/day.
Please don't be offended by this, but are you using limewire or some torrent program? Maybe that would be your problem. Cut back on sharing and see what happens. If you don't use a program similar to that, then I don't know why you have problems. Even if you have a WOW gold farm in your basement, it shouldn't use that much bandwidth. |

| he has to also consider over populated nodes in his area, if he is using wireless does he have it secured so the next door folks are not getting a free ride.
remember that while you are allowed up to 10Mbit per sec down and up to 1 Mbit per sec upload there are too many factors that can play at hand. Also please keep in mind i said Up To speeds... no where is there any promise you will get or maintain those speeds constantly.
with voip for instance on vontage and most 3rd party services they utilize your upstream @ a normal rate of 60kbits per sec for a decent quality or 90 plus kbits per sec for a excellent qaulity. with that in mind you now have to times that by 2 for an average of 120kbit to 180kbit per sec if you where using both lines at once.
now granted that does not mean that its is a full continuous upstream usage all the time, but it still takes away.
now add in what you average on bittorent services and if your seeding (sharing files on the upload side) you could be capping yourself out quite easily.
there is alot more to this and if i had more time since it is late now that i am posting this i would explain.
i know insight's network pretty well since i worked for Insight for over 3 yrs and Insight Business for over 2 years. |
