patcat88 See Profile, Don't you think that it is just a little bit greedy to be running torrents on a connection that is meant to be shared with all of the users at Starbucks.
No, I don't have a cantenna pointed at it from home. I use Starbucks wifi only a couple times a year.
Hopefully someone will block all P2P applications from running over their Hotspots.
What an awful thing to say. Perhaps we should ban myspace, pages can be 700KB-1.5MB long, flash and youtube have got to do, heck, lets add the bucket system (powerboost), if you exceed 3 MB in 5 mins, your throttled to dialup, your bucket refills by you not using your dialup speed punishment's bandwidth.

I VPN it anyways, so you can't block me. TCPIP does a nice job sharing bandwidth, but I dont need it. Nobody else is on this hotspot, 1460 kbit/s upload flatlined for hours on end. Only 1-2 other laptop users at the Starbucks, and they might not have internet, or using free wifi, or using cell phone card.

Its pretty sad that Starbucks' wifi upload speed (1.5) is more than I get at home on TWC's fastest/most expensive residential tier (20/1).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20610655 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:35:14 EDT Re: Been there, used it! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20608819 Airwolf7 : patcat88 See Profile, Don't you think that it is just a little bit greedy to be running torrents on a connection that is meant to be shared with all of the users at Starbucks.

Note: If you were just running your torrent application to see how much bandwidth was available then I'm sorry for getting on to you about it, but you could have just ran a speed test.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20608819 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 22:21:54 EDT Re: Been there, used it! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20608196 NetFixer : What I have seen in use is a single T-1 connection to a 17xx Cisco router with a WIC-1DSU-T1 module.

Perhaps there are busy high profile stores with more bandwidth, but I have not worked on the equipment in such a location.

ATT and TM SSIDs, T-Mobile IP and backbone on ATT SSID. ATT Wifi is usually backhauled on ATT Long Distence backbone (12.x.x.x) and gets a IP from that range. There is NAT going on BTW which sucks. Torrenting works fine but upto 1.5mbit/s. I need to bring 2 wifi devices and max out the node and see if its really 1 T1, or your rate limited to 1 T1.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606300 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:18:22 EDT Been there, used it! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606172 NY Tel : FWIW,

I used the new AT&T service at my local Starbucks. The IP address lookup for the T-1 carrying the Internet connection that I was using was registered to T-Mobile yet I got an AT&T login screen and there were 2 separate SSID's available to me, one said Tmobile and the other said AT&T.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20606172 Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:49:03 EDT
