Hey all. I'm new and all and I LOVE sharing the files I get to everyone I can. Even though I only have a 30/kb sec upload speed, It's still a lot when I leave it on all night. Anyway, I heard my ISP is going to LIMIT my upload each month. So I can only have around 50 GB of Upload a month. Cox HSI is really starting to piss me off. I want to find a way around this, but I know it's not possible. So I guess I'll have to share until my upload bandwidth runs out. :(

Hmm... there HAS to be a way to bypass this. I wish there was.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to fix your upload speed, but it's very illegal. I think it's called uncapping or something to that effect. If you're desperate you could resort to that.

I think I heard about it on this forum when people were trying to increase their download speeds because of ISP restrictions. I was contemplating doing it, then figure there was too much at stake. I think it's a pretty serious crime, Federal Prison perhaps, I'm not positive though.

you think a 50 GB limit is bad? My isp limits my overall traffic to 10 GB/month...

:D No CAPs here.Just Download and UPload all day long. :D
A GB a day is still not bad lets say if they limit it to 30 GB a Month.Thats still alot of Music for what you Pay your ISP.But 10 GB for a whole Month...that sucks. :(

I mean it is possible to get unmlimited here but what Ive heard those ISPs suck shit in terms of blocking certain ports so can be dodgy

No caps here; no port throttling, no port blocks, no disconnection, unlimited upload/download, no restrictions, no speed restrictions: UNMETERED USAGE !!!
35$ a month for 1.5mbit/128kbit no limits or anything

no enforced caps for me... yet :)
on my ISP's website it says 5gb upload/download limit. but that rule was created when the ISP was founded (at least the broadband part) when there was not much content. they never enforce the rule so i can download as much.. but i dont go overboard because if everyone did they certanly would start capping and enforcing the caps just like Bell Sympatico..
