Re: Where does insight stand on implementing caps? i found out!
What a pile of crap??
Think about what you just said ... 12gigs and then another 12gigs. Okay lets take that alone.
Insight offers consumer and business accounts. Lets define that. What is business account for .. lemmie guess in your head just more money to pay. No its for people or groups etc who use "MORE" then consumers. So your a IT person which surely you know what large amounts of data is.
So lets compare .. is it fare that lets say a person called "iuselotsofbandwidth" has a business account. Pays the business price following the common sense rule cause they clearly the use alot of bandwith. Whats common sense well if 12gigs in each setting is going to be a regular thing then common sense tells you, that you need a business account. Is it fare that they pay the higher amount while you dont want to pay more but should get the same service.
Next up as you posted before yes that USA doesnt have all the coverage and speeds and things other places do with what we could have, BUT comparing yourself and forcing yourself as if your still in Korea and expect that same service isnt going to happen. Just to modify the saying "dont bitch what your Internets can do for you; ask what you can do for your internets"
You know im on your side about all this meaning I want speed and no caps without limits and low costs. However you have to use common sense, you dont need told you how to do everything and its the same way with Insight, they expect you know common sense. If you keep pushing and bitching. They are going to put caps and make rules .. then what. You (meaning anyone who keeps pushing common sense) make all of us users pay and suffer for the defying. Do you want to be told how to do this and that every step of the way? I dont!!

| I do use business accounts, for my business. Not my house. I wish those who keep shouting go buy a business account knew what they were talking about. The business accounts are for businesses who need special things like fixed IPs for servers and oh yeah, running a business.
This "Oh No, You will make all of us suffer" stuff you shout over and over and over.... Who do you work for by the way?
You keep quiet as they box you in bit by bit and in a year you will have those things you fear.
My having access in other countries and maintaining sever business accounts give me a far clearer picture of what you timid souls are in for if you do not complain.
You think the lion skipped his meal because the sheep laid down and was quiet?
Get real.
I paid for an upgrade to their highest tier and got the note a week later. I am aware of the speeds offered for business accounts and it is apparent you are not. Besides this is for a home account.
Quit telling folks to go to a business account for a home, it makes you look stupid or an employeee of Insight, or both. | |

And least we forget..
However, Paul Meltzer, SVP Product Management at Insight Communications, has stopped by our forum and suggests that the e-mails being sent to users "wrongly communicated the idea that there’s a specific unpublished bandwidth limit on Insight Broadband."
"First, let me assure you again that there are no specific bandwidth limits on Insight Broadband and no mysterious lines you can't cross. Still, in the interest of all customers, we absolutely must remain constantly aware of traffic levels on the network. When sustained data transfers, at very high rates for extended periods, start degrading network health in an area, we do need to alert individual customers to seek their cooperation, and in some cases to alert them to viruses or other malware causing the problem."
Meltzer insists that these letters are only sent out in "exceptional cases of sustained usage at very high rates for long periods of time." While it's understood that severe bandwidth consumption may degrade network performance and violates the TOS, it's not exactly clear how Insight can say there's no "unpublished bandwidth limit" when a number of customers obviously just crossed it.
I did two downloads 2 days apart after upgrading to a higher tier. The rest of our household activity has been the same at a lower tier for two years plus | |
