Throttling

Throttling is area specific. If you live in the middle of nowhere chances are you aren't throttled.

Interesting.

I guess living in the middle of nowhere pays off sometimes!

Throttled even outta town

I'm like just over 4kms from there server an out of town getting throttled an capped to rrunning download speed of 1005kbps an a upload speed of 305kbps. For those speeds Dial up sure did seem a lot faster. I can't even playing any online games like battle Field2 or even any half life 1 games online an that game hase been out for ages an it worked alot better on dialup back in it's early days of online gaming cause of Bell an there capping. An in my area I can't even get cable for isp . Can go an am thinking of going wireless with either ripnet or xplorenet ..

I have one question to BELLS ostumersC AN be Honest .

Do Yeah Feel Like You Are The Criminal For Paying To Use Bells Internet Services ?? Yes or No ??

Re: Throttled even outta town

I was with RipNet before signing up with Bell, and it definitely wasn't a smooth ride. I signed up with RipNet back in spring 2005. It works well for the first few months, but it quickly became problematic to have a solid connection, especially during the night. Frequent disconnects, massive slowdowns, slow speeds almost every night. I think they overloaded the tower I was pointing at, because at about 11pm at night, my speeds would be great again.

I'd go with Xplornet if I was you. I think they have much cheaper packages than RipNet. I think there's always that odd chance that whatever ISP you go with, you can run into a lot of issues. For me, Bell has been flawless in terms of reliability, consistency, and overall performance.
