Re: [ Extreme] Has Rogers ever shut any one down for overusage?
I personally feel that the amount you download SHOULD NOT MATTER, it's if you are causing major issues with congestion due to over downloading/uploading at one time that is more of a concern..
If each person's modem was set at a speed the ISP's network can handle, then there should not be any issues.
CAPS are just a cash grab... the amount of data flowing at one time is what is a cause for concern in a congested network.
This can be controlled by not selling speeds to customers, their backbone can not support.
To say each user can only use Email and surf websites just not realistic, nor is it realistic to expect if you use your 59.95 dollar connection to do just web surfing and email, that everyone else should be doing the same.
I use 175 gigs per month approx.. CONSISTENTLY. And most is from downloading LEGAL music downloads from napster, watching youtube and transferring files to and from work.
In the US, most companies are realistic with caps.. Rogers and Bell are both insane to think 95 is realistic and value for the money... It's just a cash grab pure and simple! |
