said by Sweet Witch :I've got no problem with anyone who wants to spend their life downloading, except when it sucks away my bandwidth. Why should we pay the exact same amount and I basically get punished because I don't hog the channel?? If they want to use my bandwidth, then they should either pay part of my bill or give me some cash. If you're forced to think of it in those terms, your ISP sucks and oversells too much. OOL comes to mind, they do that like crazy.
It's easy to have the fastest on paper speeds. It's hard to make them useable.
I have neighbors with open WAPs that have at least five people on them.. at any time in the day(before I did him a favor and passworded his wireless), the speeds were 50/100 with 400 ms pings.. after, it was 2000/1500 kbps. He uses the same ISP as me, and I get MORE speed than I pay for.. and it's never slowed down before. -- The Problem With Music.
