Re: Cable always has upload problems
I agree, the demand *does* need to be met.. but list a company (even in the US) that allows full out DL/UL, and to do that as much as you want...
I think that Retire_Rich has the idea here. Allow over usage, but make them pay for it.
I think they *should* up the cap a bit though. While 50GB is MORE than enough for most users (talking about non-bbr visitors here) for some of us who like to Dl thier favorite shows/pod casts, 50 is to little.. 75 or 100 GB would be fair I think, if you go over that then you should rethink what your getting. |

Speaking from 5 years experience with SBC, I can run my 6016/608 connection 24/7 (servers are legal, too) and not see any throttling or receive a "bandwidth hog" nastygram.

Sorry I meant Cable Internet provider, DSL is different because they don't run through the same kind of node system that cable does. In Alberta (and BC I believe) Telus is the DSL provider and they have caps as well (though they don't enforce it strictly) Competition + Demand = Results |

My local cable internet provider, GCI, offers unlimited transfer plans. These are actually advertised as unlimited transfer, so if they throttled you, you could probably sue.
