I have a pitiful 1 meg connection tonight to test with on my first day with AT&T. I was able to get up to 153kb on Rapidshare later during the night. Hey, that beats the 2kb my 8 meg suddenlink was giving me for 2 months. My buddy on older SBC 3 meg got 165kb on the same file at the same time. I think we are still throttled some or the new Rapidshare interface is not quite fully up to par yet. My Verizon user does not show any slow down.
As for the AOl, this is 5 times in 2 months on 2 new computers. I was talking to 3 people, all on different internet providers when on my chat screen, a red message came up saying "I had exceeded my bandwidth and I will have to wait before sending." Well, I waited and waited. So I restarted AOL and got going again for a while before it would come back. I did not shut it down for bandwidth, I had to restart it in order to use it again since it was telling me to wait. None of the other fellows saw the screen and I had to copy and paste it for them to read. I have used AOL for 10 years and I have never seen that until the Suddenlink choke down. I do not know if the two are releated or not.
I am a Professional Gaming Computer Builder and my computers are very clean and new all of the time. Nothing wrong here. New computer, 6 day old cable modem, 2 week old new router, new Windows, not much left there folks. It does look like I might get by with AT&T on rapidshare if I can get them to come out and fix my speed. We have bad phone lines over here.
Unless there are any statements for me, this is about it. It is Suddenlink for the problem, and in case you did not know, Sprint and Verizon is watching this to see our reactions before joining in. My reaction is to cancel my Suddenlink account. That is the best message I can give them.

You do realize that closing and opening aol would not "reset" bandwidth usage IF? suddenlink is limiting it. Sounds like maybe something is wrong with your computer or perhaps something with aol? Your isp isn't going to send you messages telling you that you can't chat anymore. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20573496 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:17:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20573019 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20573019 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 14:01:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20570695

I was told that they have been in contact with Rapidshare to try to fix this issue, but that they aren't sure what is causing it. I don't know whether to take this with a grain of salt, but I do know that if it doesn't get much better pretty soon, I'm probably going to look into AT&T DSL (They only other broadband available in my area).

I don't know if they'll work any faster, but at least it's been sent up to management.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20570439 Sat, 31 May 2008 19:47:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20570408 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20570408 Sat, 31 May 2008 19:39:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20568948 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20568948 Sat, 31 May 2008 13:25:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20566090 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20566090 Fri, 30 May 2008 20:20:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20562157 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20562157 Fri, 30 May 2008 06:54:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20561007 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20561007 Thu, 29 May 2008 22:30:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20555896 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20555896 Thu, 29 May 2008 02:11:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20549251 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20549251 Tue, 27 May 2008 22:43:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20547776 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20547776 Tue, 27 May 2008 18:24:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20531870 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20531870 Fri, 23 May 2008 22:36:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20529817

Torrents still download very fast but some of the more popular torrent sites load so slow that they time out and you can't get to the files so that you can see who is seeding what.

On a positive note I can download a 5 minute song in less than 5 seconds on I-tunes and if I'm on a legit site like twit.tv I can get download speeds of a megabyte to a megabyte and a half a second easily, especially after peak hours like in the late afternoon or late at night.

To make a long story short; if your purchasing stuff legally or the free stuff is being openly shared on the up and up, you can get some blazing speeds with Sudden Link considering the fact your out in the backwoods. If your looking to pirate content you might as well hang it up because Sudden Link is throttling with no mercy. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-slow-download-to-rapidsharecom-20453312 Thu, 08 May 2008 18:38:34 EDT
