Re: Been there, used it!
patcat88  , 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.
Hopefully someone will block all P2P applications from running over their Hotspots.
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. |

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). |

Smithtown, NY | I think people should look to curtail personal expenses by renting an apartment next to or on top of a Starbucks.  |

Well if you steal movies and music you should steal the wifi too! At least you'll be a consistent thief.... |
