Re: [ Extreme] Has Rogers ever shut any one down for overusage? said by dirtyjeffer:but when you get a lot of excessive downloaders, you can affect the performance of the network for all the people in your area...perhaps as a way to curb the degradation of performance, the company spends lots of money to upgrade the network to handle the increased loads...multiply that many times for many areas and you have a lot of money spent, when really a small amount of the people have caused this...that means a price increase comes along to help pay for all the extra costs... LOL. You took that right from your Rogers playbook, didn't you.
IF heavy users were as much as a problem as Rogers claims, they would have booted them off the network by now. They'd also be slowing everyone down instead of increasing speeds.
The fact is, they want to rape us as much as they can, bandwidth overages included. I once heard that bandwidth costs them $0.15/GB. If that's true, the $25 overage charge pays for up to 167GB past the cap before they're losing money. What percentage of people do you think use that much? |

London, ON | said by JAC70:What percentage of people do you think use that much? very few...my point is, there are often many people who criticize the "ethics" of the ISP's who do take actions, all the while they download DVD's and CD's they didn't pay for...one who lives in a glass house, shouldn't throw stones.
