SmileyG |
bsmith094: possibly stuff in /var/logs |
|
19:09
🔗

SmileyG |
I think thats changing with iPads and phones... |
|
19:10
🔗
|
winr4r |
DFJustin: and so they need to provide a serious disincentive for using far-more-than-average bandwidth |
|
19:10
🔗
|
SmileyG |
winr4r: maybe ISPs should stop false advertising then? |
|
19:11
🔗
|
ersi |
Unlimited should be just that, in my opinion. |
|
19:11
🔗
|
SmileyG |
if you sell me a 10Mb line that can do 10Mb/24/7 |
|
19:11
🔗
|
SmileyG |
I expect it to do 10Mb/24/7 |
|
19:11
🔗
|
winr4r |
that, by the way, is why a dedicated T1 line would cost me ten times as much for about a seventh of the speed |
|
19:11
🔗
|
ersi |
That'd cost a fuck ton though, if it's dedicated speed xD |
|
19:11
🔗
|
DFJustin |
obviously they can charge whatever they want and that's fine, I just think it's fair to point out that it is a rip-off from the perspective of someone who does want to use the more-than-average bandwidth |
|
19:11
🔗
|
winr4r |
SmileyG: there is no false advertising, in my case |
|
19:11
🔗
|
winr4r |
calling anything "unlimited" really is false advertising |
|
19:12
🔗
|
SmileyG |
DFJustin: there should be a "pay as you use" option. |
|
19:12
🔗

I don't like pure metered billing because what happens when you get a botnet or someone hacks your wifi or your favourite MMO starts seeding patches to all the other players because the company is too cheap for servers etc etc |

|
19:15

winr4r |
they won't do that because of all the "net neutrality" folks that don't know anything about how the internet works and thinks "a packet is a packet" |
