lmao at the fact he still doesnt get it. Cut the neighbors off dumbass, then I would be careful for the next couple days as in if you have a server up take it down. There is a reason they prohibit certain things.

Tell your neighbors to get netzero. 10 hours a month is plenty to do homework with, even if they do have stupid teachers that require the web. Any fun stuff, they can do from the library.

common man..they are only using PIIs running Win 95 or something like that and the kids need to do homework.

Almost any place I can think of has free dial up available (they'll have ads or something on their screen).
Although the Internet is technically a requirement for school these days, broadband is not. They could do perfectly fine with just dialup.

How could they get by on dial-up with those warez servers, MP3 sharing, Usenet servers, and web hosting?

:confused:

I third that motion.

Fourth it!

All in favor, say "Aye!"

Nay,

This sh1t is too funny, I'd hate to see it leave. First the meditating outside in sub-artic temps, and now sharing his lan with the poor folks in the winnebago in the alley.

434kb/s sustained for 12 days? I don't believe that for one second...and if it is true, I'm willing to bet that bandwidth usage is coming from your home and not the '6 not-so-wealth-off people' with which you share your connection. Hell, if they were the problem and you wanted to allow them to conitnue to use your connection you could easily limit the bandwidth available to them.

Either way, you need to cut back on the bandwidth usage big time. I'm an EE and my average weekly bandiwidth use according to DU Meter is 750MB (and much of that bandwidth is not hw related). So, between those 6 poor school children, 650MB a day should be more than plenty.

i seed a few linux distros and occasionally help with storage space for my buddy's photography page. run a UT2003 server at least a week out of every month. combined with my above average internet usage, I do a minimum of 20Gb a day, max out at around 60GB/day. Never had a message from my provider, or even a complaint.

cut off your neighbors, to start. tell them to sign up for netzero's free service if they can't afford internet. 10 hours a month is plenty for homework and email. if they're that hard up, they can live without kazaa.

you're violating your TOS in multiple ways and you're surprised they're warning you? jeez, you're lucky they're not cutting you off immediately.

no sympathy here.

You know im so sick of these ISP's

I feel they need to stop false marketing their product. I mean I own a deticated server and they tell me I have 500gigs a month to work with. Not this unlimited crap then o b the way you used to much its total BS.

As soon as people find a ISP that offers 10mbit down and about 2mbit up with decent prices and honest bandwith limits aroung 5000gigs a month the cable monopoly will END!!!



DOWN with these DAMMM TOS!

nanyangview, you are the type of bitch subscriber that ISPs AND their customers are afraid of.. You are SHARING your bandwidth with non-paying subscribers - your neighbors. It's one thing to share bandwidth in your house.. it's another to share it with the neighborhood.

I hate how unlimited does not mean unlimited... But when I once shared my earthlink dialup connection with my friends and we simultaneously used it and I had used more hours than there were in a month, I completely understood when they cancelled my account.

Idiots like you cause the entire network to be slow because the cable company treats users as average users and does not upgrade according to bandwidth used. They do upgrade when more people subscribe, however. You are an ass to everyone else trying to use your ISP. I hope they cancel your account.. then, I hope your neighbors activate their own accounts and don't share them with you.

It's hard for me to believe someone can be as stupid as you... so please let us know if you're joking or if you in fact are that retarded.
