Re: Rogers worried?

Those "supposed" issues are not universal on TekSavvy's network as I have yet to suffer anything you have described. So for all intents and purposes I see no difference the service I had before with Rogers and the one that I have now.

Having crappy and congested transit links is as universal as it gets mate.

It's more of the "What the hell are you downloading and watching" kinda thing that I'm coming from. Before the thread got locked, I stated it's understandable if you download Blu-Ray 1080P rips, as each movie is like 40GB itself, so two would make it 80GB easy. But if you hit that much daily, well that is a lot of content you're downloading in 720P or 1080P. Where do you have the time to watch it all? Surely you have work and family/friend stuff to do.

I should have been more clear in my last post. I consume about 80-100GB/month. While I agree with you to a certain extent, I don't think that bandwidth consumption has much to do with having a life.

There are so many things that consume a lot of bandwidth. Video editing and constantly uploading and downloading files, downloading games, software, movies...etc. This can be 100% legal or not but it's irrelevant to this discussion. If someone downloads movies or games for someone else then they might be spending 1-2 minutes on initiating the file transfer and then 5-10 mins burning the file to DVD or transferring it to another hard drive.

BitTorrent Live Beta recently launched and I've been testing it out. This consumes a significant amount of bandwidth. As the quality of live streaming becomes better, the amount of bandwidth that will be consumed will also go up. 5-10 years ago, a very small percentage of people used 500GB/month. It's much more common now and in 5-10 years 1TB/month may not be that uncommon.

You can claim anything you want but I have not had any issues with my individual service, even when connecting to servers in the EU.

I sympathize with those that do have speed issues but you can't claim its universal when it's not.

Being on the McNicoll POI before migration?

If its not POI congestion on TPIA its nightly congestion to Europe

In this case, I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. The McNicoll POI was horrible before migration, and the person complaining about Europe was on the (former) McNicoll POI.

if not that then its Youtube or other video streming site slowdowns.

Actually, I'm pretty interested in testing the Youtube video complaint now that I'm no longer on a POI. Someone have a link to a 1080p Youtube video that's been causing problems?
