Optional join:2012-02-26 Mississauga, ON	reply to kovy Re: [Cable] Need faster upload!!! A freakin' men @ OP. This is so backwards it's frakkin insane. For my job I have to upload a LOT of raw video (Which can be quite large) and audio files after editing them, on 1mbps, you have to cap the upload speed to about 75-80 kb/s or it'll start choking your download and your connection will be complete crapsauce. For instance I had to upload a 4 gigabyte file... I started it this morning at 10 am, it JUST finished (it's 6 pm right now.) That's gross. On top of not having a landline (Waste of money, i have a cell..) I'm not paying the ludicrous amount of money to switch to DSL. I'm sure i'll have to pay some sort of activation fee even though I'm already a TSI customer, + the modem + the tech that'll come up to set up my phone line + the actual phone line charge per month... No thanks. A coworker of mine living in the states is sitting on a nice 50 down 20 up, what the frak? is our infrastructure that garbage we can't get past 1mbps up? Thanks Robbers for keeping even the smallest step forward in internet technology from everyone else. In a world where social media and sharing funny videos from the night before, you guys sure are dicks from holding it back from the rest of us.

brad join:2007-09-06 Etobicoke, ON	reply to geokilla said by geokilla: If Teksavvy chose not to upgrade the IPOI and prep for switching over to APOI, there wouldn't be such a problem. Yes there are costs and it's hella expensive as I've heard that many times, but you have to do the switch sooner or later. The more you delay, the more expensive it'll get. Except the delaying part is nonsense and it pushes off shafting customers as much as possible. Moving to aggregate is a total shaft to the customer.

Dones join:2008-02-14 Toronto, ON	reply to WhyNoUpload Cable upload speeds are pretty bad. Worst part is when you upload, your download speeds slow down to a crawl.

Except the delaying part is nonsense and it pushes off shafting customers as much as possible. Moving to aggregate is a total shaft to the customer. How? If I spend $50k to upgrade my IPOIs, then $200k to switch to APOI, why don't I just save that $50k and spend up to $250k to switch to APOI instead? I remember reading somewhere that the IPOI links currently used will all be useless when they switch to APOI. Now I'm taking random numbers as an example and keeping it simple. Obviously there's more to it as resa said there were contractual obligations that had to be resolved. But it still baffles me. What you want is efficient spending of money, not inefficient.

Max overage is $50. »Re: Start Communications - New Packages Err, I don't see any discussion of "max overage" at the link you posted. Rather, there's simply an example of how 100GB overage results in a $50 extra charge, based on the $0.50/GB fee structure.

Well either way, if you go over by 100GB, then you deserve to pay it imo. You pay for what you use.. A couple GB is fine, but to go over by 100GB. Well you should just switch to a higher tier.

koreyb Replace the CRTC NOW join:2005-01-08 East York, ON	reply to WhyNoUpload I said this on another thread.. Caps should be set the same on all tiers to curb abuse... Not per speed tier. This is how its done everywhere almost accept Canada where greed by the big 3 and complanacy by Canadians happen.

You pay for what you use.. A couple GB is fine, but to go over by 100GB. Well you should just switch to a higher tier. Given that the operating cost of an extra GB is likely around 5cents, I'd be happy to pay that amount. Or given that the plan allows 350GB for $60, why does an extra 100GB cost another $50? Should be more like another 300GB or so for that extra $50, since I could get 350GB extra for $60. Lots of screwed up economics all based on the flawed theory that using more than some arbitrary threshold of GB's costs Rogers a lot of money.

You're pulling numbers of your butt and not taking contractual obligations into consideration. They can't just switch whenever they feel like it either. There's a very good chance switching now would cost them more as opposed to switching later when the contracts are up for some/most of their existing links. APOI is also not good for existing customers. So it's pretty much a lose-lose situation.

Guspaz Guspaz Premium,MVM join:2001-11-05 Montreal, QC kudos:20	reply to WhyNoUpload TekSavvy signed term contracts for transit to/from POIs, before Rogers introduced aggregated POIs. TekSavvy is on the hook to pay for that transit (and there are what, dozens and dozens of GigE lines now?) even if they don't use them. Essentially, TekSavvy has to pay for individual POIs for months (years?) after switching to aggregated, that's a huge cost. -- Developer: Tomato/MLPPP, Linux/MLPPP, etc »fixppp.org

InvalidError join:2008-02-03 kudos:5	reply to Guspaz said by Guspaz: Essentially, TekSavvy has to pay for individual POIs for months (years?) after switching to aggregated, that's a huge cost. IIRC, Rogers proposed transition arrangements to transfer Rogers' share of the balance on non-aggregated capacity to aggregated for ISPs that decided to switch early. Of course, due to the higher capacity costs on aggregated, all the TPIAs passed on that offer, either banking on an extension or rate adjustments that are still uncertain more than a year later.

There are pros and cons to aggregated and for how much it would be nice to have increased coverage and higher speeds the change (and increase) in capacity costs is a real kick in the pants.
