My Isp Told Me To Stop Sharing!

[brucelee21]

My ISP called me the other day concerning my high-speed internet. I spoke to a rep and she said that my dl/ul were unusally high for a residential connection.
I just got high speed in Oct. so I was itchin for dowloadin....Oct- 22gb dl/ul(kazaa lite only)....Nov- 57gb dl/ul ( BT and kazaa lite). She said that if I was using any kind of filesharing program, that I should turn of the sharing...also saying that apprx 22gb was an okay amount per month, but it was still in the high dl's. I asked if this was common and she said no its rare....so with that being said what should I do???

There must be a download and upload capacity set on your account. If there isnt then talk to your ISP. Btw, What the hell do you download?

I hit 45 gigs down and 35 up the first month I started using bittorrent. I went crazy,downloading at a steady 500kb/s and uploading at around 200-250 kb/s for about 10 days. Needless to say my ISP tried to cap me that month. I threatened to take my business elseware as they had nothing in writing saying that I had any type of limit and they reconnected me.I have since slowed down quite alot as I have pretty much downloaded everything I am interested in.

Do they charge you extra for more usage? will they disconnect you for it?


If the answer is no, fk em.
