>>51836026
The cap is pretty shitty but honestly I would've requested a discount as soon as they turned on your internet because of the trouble you went through just to get it. I have moved twice so far with Cox and both times they tell me on the phone during activation that "oh this will be easy as the previous tenant had our service installed already within the last two months" and guess what, both times my modem would not establish a connection and I'd have to wait 2 days for them to send a tech to fix the cabling/box outside. Then when I see a $30 service charge on my account for that, I just call and complain and say that it should've been working already, why do I have to pay for it, and they just waive the fee.
Just stand your ground with your ISP and if it's anything but Cumcast you should get some sort of discount.

You mean 'objectively'.
Also, fuck Telstra. Fuck Ziggy and FUCK Trujilo.
Optus HFC is only as bad as it is becuase they could never make money from it - why?
Because Telstra decided in their infinite wisdom to overbuild Optus HFC (and essentially ONLY built HFC where they would be overbuilding Optus)
I have no love for Singtel, but fuck Telstra is one slimy fucking fish.

I've been trying to get AT&T to install another 3 t1s since I took over a few months ago. They had plans to develop a site a couple miles from their main site but abandoned all plans. Someone from the old IT company put in an order to that abandoned site for 6 T1 lines. For the past 2 months, AT&T has been sending technicians to wire up an empty field. I have received no less than 4 calls from confused AT&T Techs who want to know where the wiring was supposed to be installed. I have tried to cancel the order more than a few times by phone and email but they keep sending techs. I'm afraid they will eventually just wire up a tree with 6 T1 smartjacks and call it a day.

its very common in the us and canade to have bandwidth caps due to ISP monopolies.
in the us there exist only like 3 is companies in reality as all other companies go through their network.
the eu doesnt really have bandwidth caps currently. but many companies want to implement them and already have like for example in the uk.
dont believe me?
check out some us isps like comcaste or time warner cable. and their offerings.

I am kind of rustled because I could've gotten it for free, plus what the fuck am I supposed to do with 1tb a month. I have downloaded an absurd amount of HD media, now have a 10tb media server and still struggle to get near my cap everymonth, I torrent literally 24/7, leave soulseek running uploading music to anyone 24/7 etc etc.

>>51840529
do you guys have true unlimited? Like, with those speeds you could run a pretty large website from your home. Could you have torrents seeding like 100 TB a month and not catch heat from your isp for overdoing it? Thos speeds are fucking ridiculous.
>>51840538
You wanna do a traceroute, pingplottr and speedtest.
You want good routing, stable ping and your promised speed.
>>51840561
Well, it's at least so unlimited that I have never heard a word about it.
And I try to seed my torrents to the best of my ability as witnessed by these statistics.
I live in Sweden. Uncapped internet since DSL came to my town about 15-18 years ago.
The past 10 years I'm using 100/100 mbit uncapped.
In Sweden caps only exist for mobile broadband.

Feels good desu, only downside is that the only ISP in my area that offers this kind of speed requires all customers to have a TV package as well, which means I'm practically paying twice the cost of my internet connection despite not being interested in watching TV at all.
They're dropping that requirement sometime in 2016Q1 though, I'll be upgrading to 300/60 then.

>Naturally everything is connected to the one DSL modem/wifi base station provided by the carrier
>Has to explain that it's slow because the connection simply doesn't have enough capacity to support a whole office of that size
>Suggests a business line, which is of course considerably more expensive
>Guy goes completely nuts and starts demanding that they fix his connection
>Customer service rep explains that there's nothing wrong with the connection, it's just doesn't have enough capacity to support his needs
>Guy continues yelling at the customer service rep and demands that they increase the capacity for free
>The rep naturally tells him that if he wants more capacity, he's going to have to pay for it
>Starts threatening to cut the plan if they don't "fix his internet"
>Manager is called in, doesn't agree to give free bandwidth ether as this guy hasn't been a customer for more than a few months

I have never been capped and i use a lot.
I had 90/9 but then i got a letter and i was upgraded to 120/12 for free.
Only thing i'm going to do is call and ask if they give info about me to third parties.
A copyright movement plans to send illegal fines if they get your address and i want to know if my ISP will give it to them.
I torrent a lot without protectiont, but it's ok, i live in the netherland.
>>51836026
but bandwidth caps are the way of the future, aren't they great?
>>51841293

I can't fucking stand it for my phone but at home? Nah son get that shit out of my face. I'll deal with slower speeds than do that shit.

>I get instantly mad and starting abusing cunts left right and center.
>Next day ring up ISP
>Me: "Yeah I got this letter saying that it will disconnect my line if I do nothing" I want out of my contract since I am not upgrading and will be paying for nothing"
>Packy cunt "Umm sorry sir" "What the government does will not allow the contract to be void"
>Me: "So what, I am stuck without net and your shitty nbn plans?
>Packy cunt"Yes"
>Me: "Let me talk to your manager"
>Me "Yes hey, I have been using your internet for 2 years now and for the last 3 months I have had constant dropouts, inconsistent download speed and almost not internet at times.
"According to your service level agreement, it explains this is below standard allowed."
>Pack cunt's manager "Oh I am sorry sir. Allow us to look into further into this and we will contact you the next working day"
>ISP rings back next day
>Packy unknown cunt " Hello sir, we received a call from you yesterday. After looking into this matter further, your area seems to have had a lot of disturbance. As a result of this, we are waving any contact fees and canceling fees you may incurr if you choose to cancel your contract"
>Me: FUUUUUUUCKKKKKK YEAHH"
>Tell them to discontinue you me
>Ring up new isp the new day which has way cheaper plans
>Free upgrade to nbn 100/40 for $80
>Free cisco router since I was loyal during switch over.

I left a script going and it kept spamming white space in all text formats. Sorry about that.
I didn't think the script would take normal text and spam whitespace in it just before submitting.
>>51841587
is $17 a month expensive due to communism?
I'm from Australia so I am not so if different currencies and non democracy areas are different is more then just conversion rates.
>>51841627
Average salaries here are 30-40k rub (~$500). $17 is ~1.2k.
>>51840315
It was a real thing back then. I remember going over the 30GB limit about 6 years ago just when I started to horde most things to a whooping 500GB. My parents were mad as shit. Nothing of the sort with my current ISP. While it's hilarious that I'm paying $90/month for this shit, I downloaded about 800GB of roms last month and have been downloading terabytes of anime in the past few years.
>>51841578
Scandinavian and Finnish languages all sound gay to the rest of the world so its not really a comparative con when its only con within that small region of the world.

You could've just used their modem, you know?
>>51842017
why? I already have my own modem, Unless they are providing internet on their own proprietary framework (ie not adsl, cable, vdsl, fibre etc) like "QuantumBitTunnelingAdvancedMicroEncryptionCommunicationViaRiceGrain" then No. Modem choice is always open.
>>51842065
How do you expect them to help you if you aren't using their modem?
>>51842084
not him, but it should not matter.
it's just a "fuck you for not buying more of my stuff"
>>51842084
By knowing that when using a different modem that the username is formatted different..
im not asking them to setup DDWRT or OPENVPN on my modem. Im not the first person in history to use my own modem.

What kind of shitty 3rd world do you live in?
Here they give you a modem when you sign on the plan and you can either use it or not.
>>51842214
Most isps don't "give" a modem. You have the option of paying a 7$/mo rental fee or using your own instead of having them send you something.
When I ordered Internet from Comcast I already bought my modem from amazon. Told them my address, that I had my own modern, and was up and running within 30min. When the building is already wired they don't need to send anyone out.
A few years later I moved from my apt to house. Had a short phone call where I told them my new address. Unplugged modem from old apartment and plugged into new house. Service just worked.
Comcast gets a lot of shit but most of my dealings with them have been fairly painless. Just need to be aware of all the bullshit fees.
>>51842164
I average about 2 GB a month.
>>51842327

UPC in Ireland for years regularly increased my bandwidth for free. Ended up on 150Mb down which off peak would increase by around 20-30%

DigiNet here provides 1000Mb/s downstream with 200Mb/s upstream for around $15. Guaranteed speeds are 300/50. It's usually way better. My friend with a 200/100 max usually gets around that. Sometimes even higher. Pic related.

lol, the virgins will do anything to protect their escape site from the real world :c
that sucks OP, can't you sue them or some shit? Is that like the only ISP in those parts? And ISP's generally tend to give you the cheapest shit modems, go get yourself your own if you got the cash for it.

How in the flying fuck you muricans let ISPs do that kind of bullshit. I live in a small town in Brazil and have 10/1mb unlimited for 18USD, in big cities like São Paulo you can get 200/100mb for 50USD, required by law to provide at least 70% of the speed.
I pay 77 Canada bucks after tax for this.
I wish I could get fibre from Beanfield but in Toronto they're focusing on condos and offices; since I'm not poor and own house I'm stuck with this.
>>51842886
it's hard living in an area where people don't understand how they are being taken advantage of. the most strenuous bandwidth activity my neighbors have admitted to are facebook games which never hits 300gb a month, so they will never have this problem.
Comcast's new caps are trying to affect people that use Netflix and Amazon, but have a side effect on people that game, use cloud storage for their stuff, streamers, etc.
