Re: i hate wave broadband
Welcome to the fraud that bandwidth is sooo precious and prohibitively expensive that we all have to do our part to conserve and stay within arbitrary boundaries set by corporations (*subject to change at any time, for any reason). Electrons are becoming really scarce and it's only now after all these years of reckless usage that we need to halt the damage being done to the planet by our excessive use. Just form a mental image of an electric meter, except call it a bandwidth meter, spinning faster every time you click a file or link then you'll love being a Wave Broadband customer. Being unsure of the monthly bill is fun for the whole family! |

@hctc.com | So has anyone with Wave even received a bill yet with overage charges? I would think they can not charge us for overage until they implement some kind of system where we can check our current usage. |

| They have a usage monitor in the San Francisco area.
I have not tested it.
It's at the bottom of "Bandwidth Limitations and Other Important Terms of Use"
"It is your responsibility to monitor and manage your bandwidth usage, which you may check using the online usage monitor available after logging into your account at »https://secure-2.astound.net/iam".
Attached is a speed test done a couple of nights ago during peak hours. I do not do any heavy downloading or use P2P software. |
