It can be at least 8, but more likely 24 hours or more behind. Moreover, Rogers bandwidth measurements are often so wrong it's laughable. Like the guy who was away on vacation for an entire month and consumed over 80GB.

But the bottom line issue is that this is the thin end of the wedge. ISPs want to make more money and they'll try every way they can ... they wanted to charge the sender ... they wanted us to get to the internet through an ad infested portal ... and next it will be injected ads.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20381044 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:50:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20380748 hottboiinnc : And as far as using email; who would read an email from their ISP? or who checks their ISP email? Especially if its full of AT$T Yahoo!, Rogers Yahoo! or Verizon Yahoo! ads trying to sell you something you already have. Plus yahoo itself doesnt provide that that great of an email service let alone us an ISPs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20380748 Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:00:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20380705 adisor19 : Because there are BETTER ways to inform users of the overage warnings. You know, stuff like e-mail.

When a requested HTTP page from my bank account somehow contains something that was not coming from the bank server, there is something REALLY bad going on.
