Windows 10 steals your bandwidth, to save Microsoft money!

[Ketchup]

When I installed Windows 10 it asked me if I wanted to let it do the setup or customize. I clicked customize and many settings people complain about are there.

yep. If you don't pay attention to the options MS gives you, don't complain to MS about not setting them up the way you want them.

Disabling P2P Windows Updates is *not* one of the options Windows 10 goes over with you when you "Customize" during install, if I recall correctly (based on the fact that I would have disabled it if I saw it there). You have to go into your Advanced Windows Update settings after install is finished. So he does have a good point that you wouldn't really know that P2P Windows Updates was a thing unless you heard about it from somewhere else or you went all OCD with your OS and searched through every settings page in Windows 10 for possible options to toggle.

If Microsoft had turned it off at install VirtualLarry would be complaining that it is his choice to turn it odff or on...Microsoft cannot win with you!!

Do you do anything other than troll?

I always figured he was someone else's second troll account. My guess is that main account actually agrees with you, and this one just plays devil's advocate with intentionally bad spelling to look like a fool because he enjoys being proven wrong. Also, people like to be a bug around the ones they like, so maybe he's actually flirting with you. :awe:

Wonder how long it'll take someone to start modifying updates to include spyware...

Me and my 160GB bandwidth limit are making a big deal out of it.

Sucks that in this day and age there still are bandwidth caps on home internet. So glad my ISP is unlimited. I was looking at my torrents and one torrent in particular I seeded over 1TB so far. :biggrin:

Yeah I wonder how MS made this so that it is secure. Probably some kind of MD5 checksum that it verifies with their own servers. Like after an update is downloaded it does an MD5 check and it will only apply it if it matches. At least that's my guess.

Actually there were way more unlimited bandwidth back then than now, my cable ISP used to be unliminited from 1998 to 2008 or 2009 then they slapped on a 250GB cap and now 120GB all while increasing monthly rates. That's when I made the switch to a different ISP and they didn't even plead with me to stay with them and didn't hesitate to cut my services immediately. I also had DSL ~10 years ago at a second apartment and it was also unlimited, same plan now is 150GB/month.

But I think this is a Canadian thing, Canadian ISP's are incredibly greedy here (same for cell carriers).
