| Simple Fix - Bandwidth Caps
All they should simply do is put a known cap on their services and stop marketing it as unlimited. Not only would this address the problem with BT, but any other abuses out there will be addressed and they wont have to worry about the ports or playing cat and mouse. Then those that abuse their network will either be severally throttled back when they reach the cap (128 or 256kbps), turned off until the next billing cycle, or billed more for the additional bandwidth.
As an ISP they have the right to restrict or straight out deny anything they want. It is their service and their customer's are paying for the privilege to use it according to their terms. So the customer's abide by their rules or they can take their business elsewhere. Or in the case that this may be the only broadband option at the time... they play by their rules, or they switch back to dialup with another service provider. |

| Rogers does have bandwidth caps of 60 and 100GB. But since they put those in they have terminated newsgroups, and throttled torrents. And previous to that they basically took away e-mail and webpages when they sold out to yahoo. (the free webpage is a geocities page that uses your @rogers address in the address so if you're stupid enough to use it you'll be in spam heaven before long).
I'm glad I switched away from Rogers after they put the caps in. I'm happy with my Sympatico Ultra and my Sympatico Dry HSE connections  |
