| Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 7 The other one was getting too long, so here's a new thread.
I've created this thread and made it sticky so it always stays on top.
ALL cap discussions from here on out will be contained in this one thread.
If you want to know why you were capped, here.
If you want to know how to not get capped, here.
If you want to complain about the OOL caps and how horrible they are, here.
If you want to defend the caps, here.
If you want to discuss this thread policy, not here. Send me an IM and I'll be happy to discuss it.
I promise you I am not trying to stifle discussion of the subject (I think that's pretty clear from my actions to date). I am just trying to restore sanity to this forum by keeping this all in one place, so it doesn't overtake everything else.
Please post everything related to the new OOL capping procedure in this thread.
Thank you.

It still comes up all the time and I'd rather it be here than have numerous threads throughout the forum.
I'm also surprised to see that this topic is well over 3 years old. Time flies. | |

| Re: Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 7 I know why the thread is here and it sure cuts down on the mod time to consolidate/lock dupe threads.
It is just that there is nothing new that has not been said 100 times before. It also has turned into a stage for posters that post stuff that is completely OT.

If you can get FIOS jump on it. I dropped OOL for DSL. Depending on how far you are from the Verizon switch DSL may work for you. | |

| From skimming thru these 6 threads for the past couple days it seems that there's no definitive answer to this problem. I saw alot of things mentioned that the cap kicks in with the amount of time your uploading and not the amount of gigs your uploading. How many gigs a month are most of you uploading without getting capped?
Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of speed limits to setup with a bandwidth manager program, or scheduler that's built into some torrent programs, aka: alternating the hours and days that your uploading, does limiting the speed from 120 to 50 or something lower actually do anything to prevent the cap.
Thanks for any help. | |

| Re: Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 7 unfortunately, that is top secret for CV, people are on the right track, but can only speculate as far as what the exact guidelines are...truth is, the tech support guy on the other end does not even know, only the very few that call you back to uncap.... | |

| Capping probably affects 1% of the OOL customers. You can use your upload just don't expect to upload for 24+ hours non-stop at max upload speed. I upload a lot but I have the max upload at 50KB. Capping is really no big deal...don't see why this thread is still around. | |

| Re: Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 7 said by jaa :It's a non-issue for most people. Don't worry about it, just use your connection the way you want in a legal, courteous, and reasonable manner. If you get capped, just call up and get uncapped. Look at this thread: 7 days, 21 posts (5 from one person), 0 people reported being capped. What thread are you looking at. This particular thread has been going of for well over three years and the number of posts can not be numbered, they are as the stars in the sky or grains of sand on all of the beaches of the world.
I wonder of Cablevision is holding off on the caps until after New Jersey decides how to franchise cable TV. | |

| Batterup. I don't work for cablevision. I will defend lightpath though.
IF they were so bad the north shore health system wouldnt have just signed with them.
I dont want to hear about lightpath sucks and they should have went with verizon fiber.
I am currentlyu using verizon viber and its down every other day.
Ihalf of them have been due to verizon accidently removing the card for my building. How do you provide a business service and have that happen all the time?
Also verizon business fiber is different then fios I might add.
IF we work for cv then you work for verizon. Every time we bring up something verizon did wrong you ignore it. | |

Light Path may very well be a good service, Cablevision uses Verizon to supply it. | |

I am using verizon to show that they are just as bad. You deny it.
You are a true fanboy. You thing verizon are gods. They are not. I use verizon in a business setting and they are the worst isp I have ever delt with in my life.
Thank you for admiting that you are a fanboy (or girl) | |

| Re: Capping Discussion Here Only - Part 7 And Why do you defend lightpath as if someone is talking about a family member?
You defend them so vigorously yet you use Verizons service that you are paying for and you can't stand? your using it to prove they are just as bad? as bad as who...Lightpath?
and who are you proving this too, yourself? doesn't add up to me.....
If Lightpath is renting from Verizon, yet Verizon sucks in your eyes, how is lightpath any better? do they use better equipment, is it really laid out any differently?
If you are trying to reverse any lies, you are not doing a great job because you are too one sided in your comments, and Lightpath is the greatest thing since the wheel in your eyes...so what if North Shore signed with them, doesn't mean a thing.... | |

| Lightpath is renting space from verizon. Not service.
We all know that verizon rents out space at there COs.
You and batterup cant get through your heads that Lightpath is different from CV's home section.
Would you like me to post pictures of the horrid verizon fiber service?
I can also post tapes of what the verizon employees told me that a technician accidently removed a card for our service.
Just admit that you and batterupp are evrizon famboys.
If lightpath is so bad then the long island jewish and north shore health system would have not have chosen lightpath for there new network.
When will you stop lumping lightpath with there home system .
You get different support and you get fiber right to your building and computer room.
Batterup keeps complaining about lightpath when it has nothing to do with optimum online.
I will defend lightpath because i have used them. I am currently using verizons fiber service and I am having a horrid experience with them.
I am expecting to get attacked by these two (the patriot and batterup) because i am having a bad experience with verizon wich goes against the fact that they beleive verizon to be gods. | |

| I know cv's home service needs to completely ditch their customer service. That is what I think the route of all there problems are.
I dont care what people say about there home section. I am trying to clear up the lies that lightpath has the same problems as cablevisions home sectio nand that they stink.
Of course if you want to get business fiber run to your house then it will be expensive. Considering lightpath offers up to 10-Gbit/sec service wich the home service will never see.
here is also a link to a news article stating what I sad before.
»lw.pennnet.com/Articles/Article_···141&p=13
Lightpath is actually a direct opposite of what there home section is. Lightpath even took shots at cablevisions home section stating that copper is slow and is outdated. | |

1 edit | I have never said that it wasnt.
I have been saying though that in the near future atleast cv's network can keep up.
Their whole network is not coax just from the node to the home.
If lightpath can use the network to give business customers 10 gigabit a second connections it shouldnt be too hard to give more bandwidth to the nodes.
The reason why cablevision doesn't have to change yet is because coax can handle more bandwidth then the cat 3 (i thin kthats what telephone wire is) can hold.
IF you are going to rewire your network then do it with fiber. Cv doesnt have to do that yet. | |
