Comments on: Cox: Yes, We Do Throttle P2P http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9110/cox_yes_we_do_throttle_p2p/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:00:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sara http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9110/cox_yes_we_do_throttle_p2p/#comment-199048 Sara Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:35:21 +0000 #comment-199048 I read about this after just getting the cox service and tested it out not knowing what p2p would be like with this. It would connect for like 10 seconds at around 200k then drop for about 10 seconds to 0. It went back and forth on a 155meg file like this but still downloaded. If an isp has an issue with high usage, they should have some soft caps on the bandwidth usage and not attack certain uses of bandwidth. So if one user is using like 500gig a month, maybe a notice of please use less would be better.

I mean I don't wanna be in a restaurant and order a steak... then them charge me for a full stake and bring me half... then them be like.. Oh well it's crowded in here tonight and other people are hungry too. You understand don't you? I mean why would the company want to give them what the customers pay instead of just fucking everyone?

Comcast and other may say they are only trying to save bandwith but if they do not provide the service they promised they could get in legal trouble. Hey ISP's....here is a CLUE.....either STOP with your claims about unlimited service and download and upload as much as you want at the "fastest speeds possible"....or get your pants sued off in court......your choice.

I never had comcast but I recieved enough calls getting cussed to be glad its not here. Even without the throttling issue they get a bad name.
