Wallback, WV | Just called Frontier...
and got an 'all circuits busy' message. Not sure if it's a local problem or nationwide... but seems they are getting their response! |

1 edit | Did you try calling several times? Sometimes when calling my relative on New Year's or Christmas on my Verizon line I'll get that when I call their Frontier line once but then it'll connect, even though my Remote Terminal still has plenty of circuits left. If it doesn't connect, I try their cell phones. Try it again and see if it goes. |

I just finished calling and the customer rep didn't even know anything about the cap. She spoke to a tech guy and HE said that as of right now they are not monitoring people's usage and are trying to get a higher cap set, especially since one of the services they offer takes up more than 5 gigs. I was concerned since the 5 gig cap is in the TOS that by NOT saying something about it means that I agree to the changes. If and when they do start monitoring and limiting I will be looking at our local cable company for internet services. |

Carlinville, IL | That's right, they are shooting ESPN360 in the foot with this. You could burn through that 5GB pretty fast with that. |

ESPN360 loves bandwidth. Even though it really only needs a sustained 2Mbps internet connection to play everything solid, that's 230KB/s you're pulling and that will burn things up quickly. My 768k Verizon line can handle the 5 off to the side streams and the video stream, but it basically chokes on the videos since a slight jitter of the connection will cause one or two of the side videos to stop playing. |
