  1. Adelphia Bandwidth Caps and Newsgroups on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 5, Informative
    I have Adelphia cable and found the following in their Access Agreement:

    "Traffic Consumption Allowances: Adelphia has the right to
    monitor, measure and report bandwidth consumption by You. Adelphia
    reserves the right to establish, modify and/or enforce consumption
    allowances at any time now or in the future, with or without notice, and
    apply a surcharge for excess usage."

    This means they can say at anytime you are downloading too much, without even telling you how much is too much. They don't need to give you any download cap.
    I haven't received a letter yet but I have friends who did... people might want to start thinking about limiting their download, especially with the very popular dvdr newsgroups. It does take 5 GIGs of download per movie. You can easily let newsbin download at 300k/s 24/7.

    Download wisely...

    It's called mono. Of course Microsoft forgt to mention that in their "facts".

  3. From Adelphia's AUP on Have You Fought Your ISP Over Bandwidth Limits? · · Score: 1

    " Traffic Consumption Allowances. Adelphia has the right to monitor, measure and report bandwidth consumption by You. Adelphia reserves the right to establish, modify and/or enforce consumption allowances at any time now or in the future, with or without notice, and apply a surcharge for excess usage. "

    So for all of you like me that are using Adelphia cable internet services, they can terminate your account with no notice, for excessive usage based on download/upload caps they can make on the spot.

    You can get the full agreement here.
