| Excessive Use policy
This is new to me, reading their acceptable use policy there's a new section for excessive use. It looks like cableone is growing even more weary of their customers actually using their services.
And this can lead to them cutting you off if you exceed these limits for more than half of a billing period.

And their tips for reducing my usage at »support.cableone.net/HSD/MyServi···dth.aspx

2 edits | Read the policy, it's not the same as the threshold limits.
Welcome to 2009.
And for the cherry on top, here's my thread, posted months before the thread you linked. »New bandwidth caps I know about the threshold limits, thanks.  |

You are correct, I was wrong. I will have to consider if I have any clients sneaking by on a residential plan with CableONE.

1 edit | I wonder when or if they'll do anything to me, I use around 100 gigs a month regularly. My time with cableone might be coming to a forceful end, and I'll have to get by on 1.5Mb qwest dsl. |

Or a commercial CableONE account. (sadly they did not go from 8 meg to 10, but they are 1 meg up)
Having a 1.2 gig Hard drive largely protects me from "Excessive Use"

Now that's funny. What about the picture graphics on the CableONE support page? Do those count towards my threshold caps?

Kick me off please. I will go with the competition in 2 secs. I download about 200g to 300g a month. Nobody has said anything about it. Been with them for almost 2 years. They are not the only service in town. Really, cableone has become a joke when it comes to isp's. |
