Re: Translation
#2: You're right, it is not your problem. If you don't like their service, they don't pay for it. It's that simple. Put up or shut up. Customers like you (ones that use more capacity than others) lose money for the providers.
#3: As soon as you pay for their service, you agree to their terms of service. Again, if you don't like it, don't subscribe. It's their network and they can do what they want, the government can't say shit.

| Read the AUP and ToS, As a residential customer, you're paying for a connection, not guaranteed bandwidth.
Guaranteed badnwidth costs you between 600 and 1000 bux a month.
Keep blabbing about that which you know nothing...

true the AUP doesnt guarantee bandwidth. The ONLY thing that i ask of my isp is that they DO NOT RESTRICT WHAT PORTS OR WHAT DATA i send on my line. if the bandwidth to max out my connection is available and not being used by anyone else on the same co then i damn well expect to be able to use it on any port. i dont want a connection where port 80, and 8080 are the only 2 ports that can use maximum bandwidth.
As long as an isp make a good attempt to get the amount of bandwidth that every user needs to his/her home then i am happy with it (i can see comcast or sbc trying to "low ball" the number so they only buy 45 mbit to support 1000+subs).
Does anyone know what the current user to bandwidth ratio that major companies use? it would be interesting to find out that information, like 15 users @ 5 mbit : 1 isp connection @ 5 mbit.
i dont have rcn cable so does anyone know if them limiting bandwidth to certain applications is justified? or are they just trying to lower there cost? a justification would be your bandwidth drops significantly during peak hours or ur max bandwidth cannot be obtained during off hours. |
