A bandwidth cap? You should really see how much information passes through my computer, I would be doing like 65gig a week. So sadly that won't work at all.
I can't wait for the holographic discs with huge storage capacity, then I won't have to worry so much for space. (edited by Koitenshin on 12-29-05 11:52 AM) |

bandwidth cap is one thing, download speed is another -- fortunately, SBC doesn't have a bandwidth cap, otherwise I wouldn't have choosen it as a service. I rather download slower, knowing I can download as much as I can versus knowing I can only download no more than either 4 or 8 DVDs worth of data. I run through one 25 DVD5 spindle in about three weeks | |||

Originally posted by Koitenshin Yeah, that's why I had to switch. Hopefully they'll realize how out-of-date bandwidth caps are and remove it. |

my university has a bandwidth cap not because of money issues, but rather as a mean to control piracy... | |||

Sorreh for the semi-bump, but the discussion about bad cable reminded me.
I have SBC, and it has been great 90% of the time. We're charged the right amount, and get new discounts every year, mainly because I always get the high-paying stuff and stick with it. We've only had, errr, ONE SERIOUS DISCONNECTION EVER, and it happened quite a while ago. While the Indian tech support was unable to do much, I think they eventually realized something had gone wrong and fixed it. Regardless, no bandwidth caps, 3 mb/s (MEGABITS, not MEGABYTES), and staff ready to find discounts whenever possible. Oh, yeah. And we don't have to worry about cables being broken; as long as our phone line works, it usually works. |

Yeah I have the same thing you have Metal but they still try to find ways to screw you over.
"we're sorry but that discount no longer applies. You don't have long distance" And yet I never had long distance to begin with yet I had that discount. And now it is gonna be even worse simply because SBC and AT&T combined. |

Originally posted by Koitenshin Yay, move to Washington, if you could. Over here, everything high-speed is ran by Comcast, but the price isn't that bad. The service, I find fairly dependable. I think the connection speed is supposed to be 4mb/s, too... |
