Earthlink Announces It Must Honor Comcast Cap
LostCluster writes "For those in Comcast territory, a popular way to get around Comcast's 250 GB monthly cap was to sign up for EarthLink Powered by Comcast Service, where there was no cap. Forget about that.... Earthlink just posted an FAQ explaining that Comcast will enforce the cap against Earthlink customers starting July 1."
Further further perspective... T1 is slow! They only run at ~1.4 Mbit/s.
Since you're clearly such a guru (you almost know how fast a T1 is, that must be good for something!) maybe you should tell us all about it.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
...how it's possible to go over 250GB/month without filesharing (which, you know, is illiegal and stuff). And if you ARE somehow managing to go over that limit, then maybe a "home/personal" broadband connection is not for you, and you should be getting a business class internet connection instead. I'm a very heavy gamer, I am constantly downloading demos/patches and I have never ever been cautioned by my ISP despite being on a 40GB/month cap which I know I regularly go over, with game downloads regularly being several GB in size. (I'm on Sky BB in the UK).
