  1. Reppin the 503 on U.of Oregon Says No to RIAA · · Score: 1

    I really do love Oregon. Lived here all my life and its stuff like this that just makes me feel good. I have a TON of friends at UofO and it makes me feel good to know that someone cares about their rights and isnt being a corporate and political tool. Plus for a state school, UofO rocks

  2. Re:600 GB Per Month on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 1

    ive gone over 600gb/month quite a few months on comcast, but that was over a year ago. while ago i switched to fios and kept the same stats, now ive moved and can only get comcast here, but im gonna keep up my stats and see what they say. and if they say anything ill just show them this that i just posted: http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=299371&threshold=1&commentsort=0&mode=thread&cid=20632507

  3. according to comcast staff, this news is false on Comcast Slightly Clarifies High Speed Extreme Use Policy · · Score: 1, Informative

    i had to create an account on /. finally after years of just reading.
    I recently moved to a house near my campus (instead of living in the dorms, shitty) and we can only get comcast cable internet (not fios like i have at my real home). i had been following comcast in the news about this nondisclosure, because on fios i routinely download 600+gb a month just on newsgroups, not to mention the occasional torrent, web streaming, and all my other traffic.
    here is the transcript of my comcast online chat i just had with a decently rude chat associate named Shawn:

    user Eliot has entered room
    Eliot(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:56:31 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) what is the transfer cap for high speed internet from comcast?
    analyst Shawn has entered room
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:56:39 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Hello Eliot, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Shawn. Please give me one moment to review your information.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:56:42 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Good evening.
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:57:14 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) hi
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:57:06 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) I am unsure of what you are asking, can you rephrase that for me?
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:57:09 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Please?
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:58:09 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) What is the limit or cap on cable internet transfer/downloading from comcast?
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:58:28 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) ie. how many GB
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:58:34 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) per month
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:58:44 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) if such a limit exists
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:58:35 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Ah, not unless you are using newsgroups.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:58:58 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) There should be no cap otherwise.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 00:59:01 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Why do you ask?
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 21:59:30 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) what is the limit if i am using newsgroups
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:00:36 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) hello?
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:01:59 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) ?
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:01:46 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) that would depend on who you are signed up with. Comcast newsgroups have a limit of 2Gb
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:01:55 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) Sorry, I was doing some research.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:02:18 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) I do not know what other sites limit theirs to.
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:02:59 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) i am not asking about a limit imposed by a newsgroups service
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:03:24 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) i am wondering if there is a limit on the amount of data transfer for the cable internet service
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:03:38 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) regardless of what it is used for
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:03:49 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) a limit on the connection itself
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:03:32 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) I am merely informing you that would be the only limit that you should run into.
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:04:03 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) "should" or "will" ?
    Eliot(Sun Sep 16 2007 22:04:57 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) because i have been seeing comcast in the news lately that limits may exist that are not disclosed to account holders
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:04:47 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) That is the information I have. We do not place limits on the connection for any reason except newsgroups.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:04:59 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) The news is incorrect.
    Shawn(Mon Sep 17 2007 01:05:13 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)) There are no limits regarding th connection alone.
