you had a bandwidth cap to begin with? literally boycott ISPs that try to put any cap on your nets.

[Ganon]

wow that would last me all but 4 days

[Amit]

Bro, Rogers didn't cut you down to 25GB. You're using High-Speed Lite. 25GB is what is has always been and the next step up is regular high-speed (express) at 60GB. It appears that my bandwidth went up by 5GB :realsmug:; I'm using High-Speed Extreme and it used to be 90GB.

Red Check Mark - Correct bandwidth
Green Plus - Increased bandwidth.

I think someone in your home switched from High-Speed Express to High-Speed Lite.

my dad said we used to have 60 a month, thats what the paper said anyway

Eh my bill is jumping from 70-80 dollars a month to 100-120 dollars. This is partly because my household uses about 333 gigs per month according to Rogers.

........... You have bandwidth caps and they're expensive as hell? Dude. :gonk:

[Dwood]

SRS. caps in america would fail miserably because everyone would dump their providers instantly.

No they won't. Not when there's only one choice for broadband in most areas.

holy shit what do you guys do? 333 gigs?

[Cojafoji]

holy sweet fuck that sucks blind...

find a better isp, that's just unacceptable...

edit: donut, 300 gbs isn't that hard these days.

[Amit]

As far as I know, all ISPs in Canada have such limitations. Rogers is the fastest ISP we have in the country for the money you spend. It's always been like that. Every single month my bandwidth usage comes pretty close to 90GB+, which is why we upped it to Extreme for $10 more, but with 35GB more bandwidth and 2mps more to our connection. The Extreme and Express packages are both supposed to be 10 mbps, but Extreme does have a 2mbps addition, as I have tested it.

[Donut]

that just seems like a shit ton... i mean a month i only download maybe 5 gigs of stuff...

oh but then again theres gaming and all of the im stuff. i can see how it would add up, but 300 gigs in a month seems a little ridiculous. im the only one in this house that uses the internet much of anything though so maybe thats why 300 seems odd to me.

[Nero]

holy shit what do you guys do? 333 gigs?

Mass Effect 2 was fun. =3

But really, its things like surfing + downloading + streaming x 8 comps.

Oh and to add to that, Rogers is also slow at times. :|

[Advancebo]

Comcast High Speed Internet :iamafag:

[paladin]

Comcast ftw. I have ~30-40mb/sec dl and 10+ mb/sec up/ $42.99/month. Iirc though, they do limit the download amount to 250gb to prevent over use of torrents. I know back in 2007 they complete blocked .torrent files, but were sued by the FCC.

[thehoodedsmack]

Fuck Rogers in the Twenty-First Century!

I use an independent ISP. Unlimited bandwidth, good speed. Does it cost more? Yes. But they also aren't hiring goons to watch my downloads.

[Heathen]

No they won't. Not when there's only one choice for broadband in most areas.

Then move out of the woods or whatever one horse town that only has one choice for broadband. I live in the middle of bfe louisiana and we have options.

You know whats in Louisiana? Crawfish and black people. Not that fancy.

I agree with everything you said except for Rogers being slow. Been with rogers for 7 years and not once have I ever noticed slow downs due to their service. The reason I experience slow download speeds would be if the server is far away or especially slow.

FML, Enjoy your fucking high speeds.

I live in the GTA, 30 mins to the east of Toronto, more specifically. There is no better alternative to Rogers for the price we pay.

You mean you get boosts of 30-40 mb/s, not constant downstream. And the 250 GB/mo blows. I'm up to 100 already after 3 days. Thank god for FiOS.

mmmm indeed. 25/25 unlimited.

No. I have at least a 30 consistently. Ive had dl up to almost 50 before.

As for the download limit, i havent seen any affect. I know for a fact between my brother and I, we've gone over before. Im not sure if it is actually a cap or just a line where red flags go up after crossing.

Probably just a red flag because I'm quite sure I went way over whatever limit that is after the Steam holiday sale...

A friend of mine has a limit of 12gb monthly because he lives on the side of town that Telus hasn't added ADSL to, so the local cable company gets the contract. Fuckin' hell that cable company provides some of the worst internet out there. Speeds that aren't much past dialup and you pay out the ass for every bit of data past the monthly limit. Not to mention they accused him of downloading nine gigs during a period of seven hours a couple weeks ago which put him over the limit... no way anyone could download nine gigs in seven hours on that cable connection.

Then again, Telus originally told me that ADSL High Speed Unlimited was in fact "unlimited in every way possible." Unfortunately, they forgot to mention that "every way possible" doesn't include the 60gb limit. Soon as I move down island this fall, I'm ditching them.

[Good_Apollo]

What's this bandwidth cap I keep hearing about? Sounds like it sucks.

[InnerGoat]

Bandwidth caps limit the number of Linux ISOs you can download per month :(

[=sw=warlord]

Bandwidth caps limit the number of Linux ISOs you can download per month :(
Probably for the greater good anyways:downs:

Im sorta suprised you lot actualy pay so much for your internet.
Im currently paying £15 per month for unlimited download@20 Mbps.
:raise:

or the number of untouched blu ray discs of hardcore pornography.

[Phopojijo]

I don't have any bandwidth caps -- but I am throttled (though you can get around those pretty easy) like everyone else on Bell. That said, Bell has been calling repetitively trying to get us to change our package to "their new Fibre network"... because in our contract if we change something, we get capped. (The irony is that my family only uses ~49GB/mo according to Bell's meter... assuming they're not screwing with us while we're unlimited)

Last I checked, the only decent-sized ISP that doesn't cap new customers (but arguably throttles) is Primus. You could check them out.

:raise:"Because our country isn't dense enough to support all these speeds"... >.> Never mind that 90% of us are concentrated along the border and the ISPs are just nervous about us getting rid of our cable/satellite packages... but whatever.

This thread makes me sad. You fuckers with your fast ass internet speeds and your unlimited bandwidth. Oh well, what do expect when you get public health care?

slower healthcare = less medical related files on the webs = less bandwidth used = faster internet?why is your internet slow...

[Amit]

Because of the opposite? :ohdear:

Your internet is definitely faster than mine, but by all means, my internet is not slow. It does just fine for everything I need and my ping in games are usually in the 30s, but that depends on where the server is located physically. I usually don't have problems. The only thing that bothers me is the bandwidth cap.

[Phopojijo]

Just found out that Eastlink is now in Ontario and Quebec... and I don't believe they cap people... also their traffic shaping is quite minimal last I checked. MUCH MUCH less than Bell OR Rogers.

[paladin]

Bandwidth caps blow.... I need my Harry Potter :smith:

Eastlink? Is that an established provider in other countries? I wish Comcast was in Canada.

[Phopojijo]

You're thinking Earthlink. Eastlink is a Nova Scotia company.

Eastlink has been talking about trying to implement Docsis 3 actually...

So we could have an uncapped, mostly unthrottled, Docsis 3 provider.

[Huero]

when I saw the name of this topic I immediately thought of my german teacher
I agree. she is terrible.

Actually, I wasn't thinking anything. I don't even know what Earthlink is lol, might of heard it somewhere, though. Damn now I gotta do all this research on what the hell Docsis 3 is.

[Phopojijo]

Docsis 3 typically gets speeds of like 50Mbit down/12Mbit up... all said and done... in current US applications.

It's basically Copper/Cable's answer to fibre.
