| Port scan... Well, I've just received confirmation of all this crap by an automated email from sympatico. This is bullshit. They say in the email that I won't be touched by this "reform" since I don't download that much, well, their system is pretty f***d up since I did 11GB of download last month, and it is my average download per month; at this rate, I would pay 100$ for my ADSL deal. Pretty nice eh? Well, at this price I could get a faster connection without having a download/upload limit. They will probably say that they drop 4$ off the current price, but it isn't worth it. They say that they have a new Ultra High Speed connection.. yeah for 70$ a month with a 10GB limit; I won't download 10GB a month with a fast connection like this. It's all about money and no respect. A pretty good friend of mine talked about Hackers whom do port scans and starts to leech of your computer... What about that? It's not my responsability and Bell will actually bill you for that. Very good.... The moment another ISP comes with a high speed connection, I'm switching as fast as I can. Bell Sucks real time.. they need money and they will get it no matter what they do to their customers... They laughed at us... I hate this. Never thought I could be this angry toward Bell.

the sad part it is thoughts like this that will eventually put caps in all areas of broadband..
its not my fault I was hacked - yes it is
its not my fault I leave kazaa/morpheous on for 9 days at a time - yes it is
I consider myself I a heavy user - I am online for at least an hour a day - during that time I will download quite a bit. I use file sharing programs.. but i do not leave them on while i am not at the computer. I make sure my computer is secure and is not breached so my connection cannot be used by others. If a friend needs a file i will open up a server on an odd port and let them log in ... with it set to turn the server off when they log off
I have a good service for a good price, but if i abuse it it will cease to exist.
I pay Cogeco 40 dollars a month - I in return get a residential line for that gives me 3 megabit down and 384 kb up .... it is NOT my own personal ftp or web server.
