| no ISP should block any service!
why the hell does it matter what people use their internet connections for?
I don't see ISP's blocking FTP, I can always go at the upload speed I'm suppose to get, yet more and more ISP's want to mention how awesome there speeds are, while blocking or throttleing many of the reasons folks want to take advantage of said speeds. I see no difference between seeding a torrent or offering an FTP server that gets alot of use. Fortunately my ISP doesn't throttle any services, which is the way it should be, but if they ever did, I would show them that they won't stop me from using my upstream connection. I'll gladly if it came down to it set up an anonymous FTP server and say Ha take that! We pay for an internet connection, so let each user use it as they wish! Internet connections are not just one way receive only lines anymore! So we want to seed the latest episode of Systm or other torrent, big deal I say, if I'm paying for a given speed, that shouldn't be for only web and FTP, it should be that speed for whatever services we the customer wish to use now or in the future! |

| what's worse is rogers has a 100gb cap. i don't know why they borthered setting it up. they don't enforce it (thankfully) but if they ever intended to they wouldn't have put packet shaping hardware in. you get 100gb, you should be able to use it any way you want, at whatever speed level you pay for.
rogers is like any large corporation though. it takes them a long time to get on the bandwagon and it takes them an even longer time to realize when to get off. |
