Ok, they say I have "unlimited bandwidth", but I can't download too much over a short period of time. Oh well..I was going to switch over to different ISP, but I guess this is another reason to switch besides there inconsistent speeds and operational time.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 21, 2004, 04:57 AM

yea it happened to my friend
they didnt do anything but becareful

Vampyromaniac · Feb 21, 2004, 05:31 AM

how many times did I tell you to cut down on the p0rn?!

Rayder · Feb 21, 2004, 05:43 AM

It's probably pointless, but call 'em up and argue the "unlimited bandwidth" statement in their agreement and ask them what part of "unlimited bandwidth" did you not understand. See what they have to say about that.

No_Style · Feb 21, 2004, 05:45 AM

I don't mind. A friend of a friend of mine got the e-mail at one time as well.

Here I come Magma. Your ADSL Sexiness is so enticing 3 MBit down /800kbit up

GutterPunk · Feb 21, 2004, 06:11 AM

very nice id change too!

Judas · Feb 21, 2004, 06:36 AM

i get 10mb/s down and up and unlimited/uncapped is the name from shaw... i also asked about the total amount of data downloadable in a month.... say 50gb

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 21, 2004, 06:51 PM

i prolly donwload 10 gigs in total maybe a month and watch more warnings will come when they upgrade our speeds to 5mbps later this yr

GutterPunk · Feb 21, 2004, 06:56 PM

i think i had like 3 months in a row where i downloaded like 20 gigs + I filled up my 80g hd fast

drakesteakn · Feb 21, 2004, 07:06 PM

i think me and disastropy would change in a heart beat if we could. dang Adelphia sucks!!!!

ivan300 · Feb 22, 2004, 01:58 AM

yeah i got one of those too didnt stop me from dling

tek · Feb 22, 2004, 02:02 AM

Huh? Adelphia fuckin rocks dude are you serious.

They upgraded their lines and now we get higher download/upload speeds AND they just RECENTLY signed with Giganews (newsgroups) and I just got into newsgroups when I heard this and its amazing, anything I want right there at the highest speed, but the only problem is a 5GB per month cap but ONLY on newsgroups - not for the whole internet. But it aint stoppin me from d/ling everything possible

eurotrip in 20 minutes, so FAST

GutterPunk · Feb 22, 2004, 05:19 PM

My Adelphia has some of the oldest phone lines and the servers they use are pieces of crap... worse then where Drake and Fallang reside.... Theirs is very crappy too but mines worse

I am satisfied at the moment cuz phone lines cant handle DSL and the 56k runs @ 16k lol.... We have a lot of old people here who dont use internet so i get a good best effort at times

Markius · Feb 23, 2004, 01:19 AM

just out of curiosity, how much did you dl in the month before that (pathetic) email?

SaberZ · Feb 23, 2004, 05:53 AM

I got one of those letters from Optimum Online, but not for downloading, but uploading

mild uploading mind you, like... a gig or so in a week(Bittorents). But a stern yelling and they left me alone. They thought I had Kazaa running(yeah right, wouldnt touch it with a 6ft stick).

Strictly use my troublesome bittorrents. My computer if left unchecked goes into a standby mode it can never get out of(its not even enabled!)

lol

Well over a 2 week period I downloaded 15 GB worth. But you, see it's Bit Torrent and I left the upload rate unlimited and I'm guessing that's what really kills their performance.

Exactly, I think it was the uploads.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 24, 2004, 03:34 AM

oh and for the foreigners (yes you americans and europeans lol) rogers uses the old excite@home technology but when @home went out its just called rogers instead of the old rogers@home. its the biggest television provider here in canada, the corporate campus is literally a 2 min walk from my place and the owner lives in my bro's friends neighbourhood lol. man is damn rich

SaberZ · Feb 24, 2004, 04:11 AM

yeah bittorrent if left unchecked will leave you uploading GIGS of files. Sometimes i leave BT running while i sleep to dl anime an such, and when I wake up, its finished downloading, but my upload is around 7 gigs at times lool. yeah its frightening.

No_Style · Feb 24, 2004, 04:47 AM

It's great, but like with all things, great in moderation

I wonder if there is a way to schedule Bit Torrents.. Ideas anyone?

SaberZ · Feb 24, 2004, 05:18 AM

nothing that i know of. There are 3rd party BT installers that give you more customization options.

BT++ A very pretty GUI
http://btplusplus.sourceforge.net/

Experimental Client
http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/

There are countless others. Give them a whirl(i use the Experimental Client)

Al_Vampyre · Feb 24, 2004, 12:24 PM

I'm fairly sure Azureus has a built in scheduler...great client, I used to use ABC switched to Azureus and never looked back...

No_Style · Feb 24, 2004, 05:55 PM

I'll check them out later
