    • Comcast to limit customers' broadband usage (US)

      By Yinka Adegoke
      Thu Aug 28, 10:20 PM ET

      SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Comcast Corp, the largest U.S. cable operator, said on Thursday it will cap customers' Internet usage starting October 1, in a bid to ensure the best service for the vast majority of its subscribers.

      ADVERTISEMENT

      Comcast said it was setting a monthly data usage threshold of 250 gigabytes per account for all residential high-speed Internet customers, or the equivalent of 50 million e-mails or 124 standard-definition movies.

      "If a customer exceeds more than 250 GB and is one of the heaviest data users who consume the most data on our high-speed Internet service, he or she may receive a call from Comcast's Customer Security Assurance (CSA) group to notify them of excessive use," according to the company's updated Frequently Asked Questions on Excessive Use.

      Customers who top 250 GB in a month twice in a six-month timeframe could have service terminated for a year.

      Comcast said up to 99 percent of its 14 million Internet subscribers would not be affected by the new threshold, which it said would help ensure the quality of Internet delivery is not degraded by a minority of heavy users.

      U.S. Internet subscribers are typically not aware of any limit on their Internet usage once they sign up to pay a flat monthly fee to their service provider.

      As Web usage has rocketed, driven by the popularity of watching online video, photo-sharing and music downloading services, cable and phone companies have been considering various techniques to limit or manage heavy usage.

      But Comcast has come under fire from a variety of sources for its network management techniques.

      The U.S. Federal Communications Commission investigated complaints by consumer groups that it was blocking peer-to-peer applications like BitTorrent, and earlier this month ordered Comcast to modify its network management.

      Comcast has said that by the end of the year it will change its network management practices to ensure all Web traffic is treated essentially the same, but has also been exploring other ways to prevent degradation of its Internet service delivery.

      One consumer group said while Comcast's new 250 GB limit was "relatively high," it could eventually ensnare customers as technology progresses.

      "If Comcast has oversold their network to the point of creating congestion problems, then well-disclosed caps for Internet use are a better short-term solution than Comcast's current practice of illegally blocking Internet traffic," said S Derek Turner of Free Press, a Washington, D.C.-based consumer advocacy group that filed a complaint about Comcast's network management practices earlier this year.

      The Philadelphia-based company is not alone in trying to come up with ways to limit heavy Internet usage.

      Time Warner Cable Inc, the second-largest U.S. cable operator, said in January it would run a trial of billing Internet subscribers based on usage rather than a flat fee.

      Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas said Comcast was also considering so-called consumption-based billing, but no decisions had been made.

    • RE: Discussion about Power User rank.

      @MaGicsPeeD:

      So.. my own approach for the power user status is something like this:

      1. At least 2 months registered member on the tracker.
      2. At least 200GB download.
      3. Ratio should be always >2 to keep the status.
      4. Warned (not for ratio) users should have their status removed until the warning flag expires.

      200 GB Downloaded? Anyone can download. Do you mean UPload perhaps? I do not think DOWNloading should have anything to do with what type of user you are at all- maybe a LEECHER and that's about it, lol.

      Ratio- eh, that would be great for someone to have to make them as a power user (i think, too)- and then again world peace would be nice as well!

      On another note, I think the types of users should be expanded to allow for different types of privileges. It does seem rather basic to really only have 2 types of users- regular and power really are the only type because really, who is going to graduate to be a "Founder"?

      Examples:
      Auto Approval could come with its current requirements, along with something else and have that be part of a type of user itself.

      I think time based on activity should be a qualifier for a type of user as well, or define a certain user in combination of other things as well.

      I would love assisting in the creation of a matrix for such qualifiers for types of users 🙂

    • RE: Whats your Download Upload Speed??

      @juancho:

      it says, "there's no server in your area", then offered me to click the recommended server which belongs to a rival company!

      weird.

      ??? ??? ???

      doesn't mean it is weird because it is a "Rival" company- in the US lines are primarily owned by ATT (Copper / DSL / Analog) regardless of who your service provider is.

      Also, it may just be a server that it can run a test to.

    • RE: How many times you masturbate for one week? how many is normal at least?

      I have some doctors as clients, and I was told that yes this is true- your chances of developing prostate cancer are extremely low the more you jerk off, or jerk off regularly etc.

      Did anybody know the reason why Graham Crackers were created?

      • It was believed that if teenage boys ate them, it would hinder the craving to masturbate. Good thing I was not alive then… all hell would have broken lose.

    • RE: How many clips/movies have you collected ? How organized ?

      Well, I have over 12.TB of actual diskspace at current.

      I would estimate that I have a total of about 1TB total of porn, most of which is already burned onto DVD as I am reorganizing etc.

      Majorly organized….

      Pics by category- solo, etc.
      Series, then by studio, titles, etc.
      Websites, which one, then if they are full dvd or clips, then the titles
      I have a section just for realplayer clips (HATE realplayer, need to convert)
      Section for quicktime (need to convert)

      Other stuff as far as personal vids, and vids of others I know, and vids made with others, those are on secure DVD / safe on pc made with Steganos. Organized accordingly, of course- who, when, what.

      I only have porn that includes younger guys under 30 so no need for extra organization there.
      Nothing more cultural than maybe latin, rest is all okay with me being organized regularly- czech, white, etc.
      No hairy daddies or leather/s&m, fetish, fisting or anything like that. I'm not into it- not going to waste the space just to have it.

      @juancho:

      i've never had problems with my ratio.

      i've uploaded 21 so far and i've been waiting for an approval since a couple of hours ago.

      Yea, your going to be waiting most likely more than 2 more hours, too. Takes a little bit- or it might.

    • RE: (CANADA) Anti-gay group fails to disrupt funeral

      @Gr1zz:

      Now, stop me if I've made a mistake here, aren't they saying that God is in Hell? For ever?

      They also have praised such things as the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center, the death of just about everyone, including Fred "Mr." Rogers, Jerry Falwel and Heath Ledger, and thanked God for the great earthquake that caused heavy loss of life in China.

      Perhaps they are actually Satanists, with the whole "God in Hell" thing.

      Oh and the world KEEPS turning…. I am very impressed how you know about this group of idiots. Thank you for sharing the great links with everyone!
