Comcast, Frontier and Time Warner Cable Are Moving Toward Imposing Internet Usage Caps this is scary. anybody have any idea how much bandwidth a game like eve consumes each day if on for 23 hours ? Honestly, it's not that hard.
Glock 19	Posted - 2008.09.02 17:20:00 - [4] thanks, also i did some research it appears that a game like eve really doesn't use that much bandwidth, nothing like i had feared. but i think this will really affect the music downloaders etc

Jim McGregor	Posted - 2008.09.02 18:55:00 - [8] Since the Internet is the only free mass media for the people, of course its going to get controlled. It doesnt exactly take a genius to realize this. So just enjoy it while it lasts. Nothing good or bad lasts forever. Be glad you are part of the generation that got to experience a free Internet. --- Originally by: Roguehalo Can you nano Titans?

Spaztick Canadian Imperial Armaments EVESpace	Posted - 2008.09.02 19:20:00 - [11] If people get fed up with it you can always start your own internet provider. Screw Comcast or AOL, just install a line directly to the backbone and pay them. But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

Is that yours? 592 GB? What the hell were you downloading? The Universe? To be honest, the only reason I don't get 600+ GB/month usage myself is I can't seem to find anything worth watching/downloading/whatever AND can't be arsed to burn 4-5 DVDs on a daily basis (let alone do anything useful with that data) If I would, I'd probably break 1 TB/month easily... but right now, 50 GB/month is already overkill for me. _ SHOPS \|\| Mission rewards revamp \|\| better nanofix
SoftRevolution	Posted - 2008.09.02 19:27:00 - [13] Edited by: SoftRevolution on 02/09/2008 19:27:15 I dunno how it is over there but most ISPs here have had a usage cap since the days of dial-up, they just haven't told you what it is. If your ISP already offers a "Heavy user" package then you have a cap whether you know it or not. EVE RELATED CONTENT
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.09.02 19:27:00 - [14] ITT: We complain about a limit that was always there, but was never published until now, to highlight our powers of ignorance and whine. - DesuSigs
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.09.02 19:35:00 - [15] Oh, around here (Romania), we always knew what the limits are Most contracts were "x for y speed up to z GB/month" after which you had various options, from paying extra for aditional traffic or getting a lower speed as you pass other traffic values that month. Heck, we even had contracts with "x speed from 9 to 17, y speed from 17 to 23, z speed from 23 to 9". I bet if you guys (looking at US customers) actually read your contracts you'd notice the same things somewhere in the fine print.

I downloaded this : D U Meter to check eve usage and it was really low overall, including high eve usage by two of us.
Kephael Caldari LEAP Corp Ursa Stellar Initiative	Posted - 2008.09.02 19:59:00 - [17] Edited by: Kephael on 02/09/2008 19:59:23 LOL, you guys really think you're entitled to 500gb+ a month on your home lines? You ought to see what my servers push and what I pay. The fact of the matter is, the internet is a lot of privately owned backbones and they have limits.
Xen Gin Universal Mining Inc Forged Dominion	Posted - 2008.09.02 20:38:00 - [18] Edited by: Xen Gin on 02/09/2008 20:39:16 Originally by: Kephael Edited by: Kephael on 02/09/2008 19:59:23 LOL, you guys really think you're entitled to 500gb+ a month on your home lines? You ought to see what my servers push and what I pay. The fact of the matter is, the internet is a lot of privately owned backbones and they have limits. I think I'm entitled to what ISP advertised and sold to me. Which ironically is 2mbit/sec unlimited access broadband. If people are using the ISP to download xGB's on a 2mbit/sec unlimited access its not the customers fault, its the ISP's. I believe selling something you don't have or intend to deliver is fraud.

You ought to see what my servers push and what I pay. The fact of the matter is, the internet is a lot of privately owned backbones and they have limits. What the hell do you mean? Of course I'm entitled to it, I paid for it, right? I'm getting around 500gigs a month right now, but I'm about to change my connection where it could go up tenfold. Could be above 5 Terrabyte a month... I'll try to let most of it run via your servers... ;)
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.09.02 21:19:00 - [20] Unlimited!=Infinite Advertising like that assumes you aren't an idiot. This is intentional, in order to trick you. And my how it worked.

Mr Friendly That it Should Come to This	Posted - 2008.09.04 03:28:00 - [22] Originally by: Crumplecorn Unlimited!=Infinite Advertising like that assumes you aren't an idiot. This is intentional, in order to trick you. And my how it worked. Bull. There's nothing idiotic about taking the term as it is usually treated by average people and applying it to advertisements and contracts lacking explicit and obvious restrictions. I doubt anyone thought for an instant it meant 'infinite' but I think most people would say it means 'not limited by your isp because they feel like it'. That's where Common Law comes from and that's what it should get back to. Or are you one of those people that think it's fine to advertise "Free* Burger for a limited Time @ Mcdonald's. Come get your Free* Burger!!!" *not free at all, in fact it's free when you purchase a new car, boat, house, the world, and many parts of the universe from our sponsers
