Speed today
« on: March 11, 2010, 06:43:12 pm »
Yeah yeah, it was slow. It was my own fault -- I left a, err, high bandwidth program running and my ISP noticed/throttled me. I talked to them about the issue, they took care of it.

Sorry :)

:) exactly

I throttled the upstream to 400 kbytes/second today. His comment when I talked to him was to keep it below 5mbit upstream sustained during business hours and I'd be fine. I hope I did the math right. :)

He either wants it at 640kb/s max or 625kb/s max.  You're good.  :)

I still think it's funny that you have a high-speed internet, but you can only use some of it.  :P

I thought they only did that crap on satellite.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Well, there's a difference between sustained speed and burst, and there's always a difference between business hours and non-business. What it comes down to is, I'm sharing the physical layer with businesses, but I'm not capped. That means if I use all the bandwidth for a long period, it's going to affect other customers. He said it's fine outside of business hours, but not otherwise.

Part of getting the uncapped "friends" deal = me being responsible. :)
