fucking comcast wants to cap my net

at 250 GB a month

bastards.

 

you use comcast as your internet provider..? My condolences...

 

Why? It works fine for me!

 

Its my only option, other than dial up or verizon DSL....... and verizon sucks some really really fat fucking dick.

 

They are expensive (to me they are) and we download a bunch of stuff and they sent us a letter saying we were conducting illegal activity and yadda yadda... Everyone has their preferences, I guess I just don't like comcast so I am a bit biased of them...but that's just me...

 

i have yet to get a letter, and I am d/l u/l pretty much 24/7.......

I WANT them to send me that letter, cuz I want to call them and just go off on a customer service rep. I like making them cry.

 

Oh wow that's crazy! I never hear anything from them like that.
But yea it's true, they are expensive.

 

yes, the expensive part is true. Although for 8mpbs I guess 42.99 a month isn't that bad

 

They sent an email and a letter, it was one of the torrrents we downloaded, they referenced that specific one and I remember which one it was to this day, it was Martin Lawrence Run Tel Dat...
I think matt kept the email, I should try to find it when I get home because we were really surprised too...

 

they actually referenced specifically WHAT you were d/l? fuck.



well, I guess its been nice knowing you guys....

 

Here he emailed it to me...

wow, thats crazy. I wonder how all my shit has slipped through their fingers?

 

The thing is the email was sent to us in 2005, we downloaded it a year prior.. so who knows...

 

true. I've still got a year from now or more...... lol, well I won't lose any sleep

 

if you want a little privacy & you don't wanna be throttled check this out http://www.torrentfreedom.com/

 

^^^ spam??? ^^^

 

no it's a vpn connection.. all of your internet traffic gets tunnelled through there servers & it's very encrypted so comcast won't kno what the fuck you're doing. && also your bittorent will download to maximum capacity.. rather than being severely slowed by comcast. i'm getting comcast installed on the 5th & i'm using the aforementioned website. there is a fee tho.. it's 17 a month, but i think it's worth it

 

I don't know. If i have to pay more, then its just not gonna happen

 

I have dial up at 46.4kbs....ugh it sucks

 

yeah, good luck downloading those DVD9 movies........
