TeValereJubeo Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 i was reading the article about a charge for bandwidth instead of a monthly charge, that kinda pisses me off! i may not be crazy but if they did that to my cable i would have to turn to drastic measures!!!! i couldnt handle it!!!! but yeah other peoples oppinions and ideas would help me be a little less bullheaded about the subject unless you guys have the same thoughts as i do, then post anyways and then we can work on creating or inventing our own ISP thats a million times better and doesnt give a dang what you do! hell maybe i will donate my lifes worth to the computer literate, free flow of data and knowledge fighters!!!! long live the open file sharing!!! and a huge thank you to anyone and everyone who agrees that knowledge should be shared not squandered and sold for trillions to the poor who cant afford to care!!!

Bosco Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Well what they do up here in canada for cable is your allowed 3 gig's down and 1 gig upload. If you happen to go over that then they suspend your service for a week. What a joke no wonder I don't use cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 3gigs? geez.. ive downloaded 5.4gigs worth of crap just tonight alone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Ya I know its really odd. Part of it is they don't want anybody using their bandwidth as a server. They charge $50.00 per month for the service and it sucks. Speed is 1.5mbps down and 512kbps up. Is that a rip off or what.

RaTeD-R Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 You think your getting ripped off, lemme throw some Adelphia #'s at cha! Last 10 speed test avg's 2170 KBPS Down!! (no M's, just K's!) 213 KBPS UP! Price Per Month - 39.95! Now thats a freaking RIP off. But they're the only cable provider in my area . Lets just hope that with advancements in technology and wireless networking, that bandwidth gets cheaper. I don't see why it shouldn't. The internet is still a pretty new technology, and many ideas are being presented now....some good, and other utterly stoopid! We just have to wait for the dumb ones eliminated. The internet is not a play toy, ALOT of people HAVE to access the internet everyday, and consume alot of bandwidth in the process. Knowing this, there's always going to be companys claiming they need to charge for bandwidth ....and theres always going to be greedy politicians supporting them. Its all about $$$$$$$$$$$$!

RaTeD-R Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 ok, that last post makes no sense. I couldn't decide how to word it....got destracted.....and totally lost all ideas of what I was doing. 2170 kbps = 2.1 Mbps Which I guess isnt to bad. But for 40 bux a month (and thats only because I use them as my cable company also, the normal price would be 50 a month) I don't think its worth it, and it sux not having another option. Yeah, 1.5down and 512up sux to. But hey, what can you do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeValereJubeo Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 do any of you know what it would take to create a small ISP in our local areas, with the intent of good service instead of having the soul purpose of profit margin?

hiph0pan0nym0usx Posted June 15, 2002 Posted June 15, 2002 ya if anyone starts doin that to my cable i would switch in an instant. I download so much crap everytime i go on.. not 5 gigs(thats A LOT OF CRAP ) but theres no way i would let them give me a limit to my bandwith.
