HELP ME PLEASE!! MY Rogers ISP Is gonna BUST MY ASS soon..help please.

[Evadman]

to do 450445mb in 12 days you would have had to have been downloading at an average of 3010 kb/s (over 400 KB/s) continiously.

Rogers is capped at WELL under that. hell, that is 2.5 T1 lines running at 100% capacity. I smell so much bullsh!t that if I lit a match the forums would explode.

I did the math too, sounded crazy, but I wasn't sure what the caps were. Thanks for validating it's BS.

 

[conjur]

Well...that's the up and down total. What's the upload speed?

 

[Evadman]

hmm, actually Rogers advertises a cap at 3000kb/s down, 375kb up total transmit. That means your upload and download combined was 101.34% of the theoretical maxamum sustained for 12 days.

Maybe they do that multi threaded download, you know where the first 3rd is downloaded at the same time as the 2nd third and last third of the file....

May have missed someone saying it here, but if not, odds are it's one person doing it. If you can find out who you can cut them off. There is probably some fool on your network sharing gigs of mp3's on Kazaa.
Also...When the Riaa comes looking they'll be looking for you not them.

just out of curiosity, wouldn't his internet connection feel like 56K with that many people downloading/uploading stuff?

Actually.....450445MB is 3,603,560,000,000 bits of information that have been used up in the last 12 days. In a 12 day span, there are 1,036,800 seconds in those 12 days. That amounts to 3,475,655.9 bits per second of sustained bandwidth usage (that is to say, on average, for each second the last 12 days you have used 434KB of bandwidth).

That is the equivalent of roughly 64 56K modems running constantly 24/7.

Actually .... 1KB is usually counted as 2^10B, and 1MB is usually 2^20B
so ... 450445 MB = 461255680 KB = 472325816320 B = 3778606530560 b
for a period of time of 1,036,800 seconds
3644489 bits / second
455561 bytes / second
445 KB / second

Also , since most 56K modems connect around 50 to 53k tops ... it's more like 75 modems





Of course i guess it really just depends on how the ISP gauges their bandwidth, but using powers of 2 rather than 10 makes a difference of about 4.86 percent, which is not to be ignered.




also, I see that he has corrected his typo, 45GB in 12 days is only about 113GB per month, that's not so bad.

 

[sxr7171]

We haven't heard from the guy maybe they booted him already.

 

[nsafreak]

According to his user profile: Last Visited On: 02/08/2004 12:05 AM
So either they haven't booted him yet or it was all BS. I call BS like so many other folks in this thread.

Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha, you fool!! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, and only slightly less well known is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

 

[obiwaynekenobi]

I have 4 people with 6 computers constently running in my house sharing a DSL line ad the most we've ever hit was 50gb in a day. and it ran A$$ Slow.

 

[arcas]

Okay. So your edited message shows 45GB downloaded in 12 days. What exactly do you think they've been downloading at almost 4GB per day? Certainly doesn't sound like "homework." You might be receiving a subpoena from the RIAA or MPAA or BSA soon. Enjoy trying to explain to them that it must've been your neighbors and not you.

First of all, nobody normal can download 45GB in 12 days and not be doing something wrong. If your friends are those who are serving stuff, etc., you can't use the TODDI (That Other Dude Did It) defense because your name is on the contract, etc. and you are an idiot for helping neighbors that are "hard up."

Secondly, if you're using Rogers Cable, then you are in Canada. Tell those idiots next door to go on Welfare. That pays a lot.
