RTev, Have you done any uploading? Pulled this off the cable modem newsgroup. I would think this could become an issue for @Home, I don't like it that I'm being punished for some idiots running web servers. Go after them not me! Check out whizcomp1.webjump.com and read the memo that was sent to all MSOs regarding the bandwidth caps. Pay close attention to how they repeatedly make excuses and tell their representatives to NOT speak of the cap to customers unless absolutely necessary. Customers should be informed of this limitation before purchasing service. It is horrible that they are treating us this way. Do they even realize that the download speeds get limited to 16k/s while uploading? Well, surprise @home.. your "ONAdvantage" strategy at keeping the downlink speeds "blazingly fast" by limiting abusers DOESNT WORK. I tried sending an email attachment this morning of a powerpoint slideshow. While it was slowly uploading, I figured I'd "surf" the web a bit.... too bad it took nearly 4 minutes just to load the custom @Home "www" page. Check that site out... make as many people as you can aware of this. If @Home 1) Was honest about this, and 2) Implemented a MUCH more logical 'abuse protection' scheme (uhm for starters that would include NOT limiting DOWNSTREAM while uploading.. another may be some sort of dynamic upstream limit based on overall system usage -- if the node is relatively inactive, why not let my powerpoint slideshow fly to the server as quickly as it should?) Once again, whizcomp1.webjump.com .. the memo is off one of the links. Special thanks to CD for somehow obtaining the memo and hosting this website.
