ive heard that comcast also has a limit, but its just so high that u cant really reach it. my internet now is so slow cuz they cut the speed down by 75% which is an outrageous cutback.

i kno, DSL is horrible for online gaming, cuz it sends in bursts. o well, im not moving anytime soon just to be eligable for Comcast.

that is the biggest downfall to high-speed internet, its like going back to dialup isnt such a bad idea. lol i mean with dial-up they dont care if u download 30GB, cuz they know it would take u the rest of ur life! i downloaded a game once from LimeWire (Sim City 4 Deluxe) that was 1.022GB and it took about 4 months off and on, then i played it once and havnt touched it again! with highspeed i could of had it in a day and not of been pissed except for the stupid limitation!

yea, i seen that for the next package the FAP limit is like 12 or 13GB and for the best package its like 17 or 18GB. man this sucks, i wish calling them and aqsking for a reset cuz they never said a word about the limit would work. i mean seriously, the installer never said "look, u guys got a limit and u cant go over it or else...". how secretive is that?! is it alright to play my games like FEAR, Area51, COD2 online?

wat about http://www.funnyjunk.com, is that too much? wat about this site for Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes: http://video.glath.com/athf.php

im on the basic package, 512kbps down / 128kbps up. thanks ghost that clears up a lot. so just hang tight while basic surfing until all that big shit is wiped off? how bout videos, is it a bad idea to stream those?

o...so its not a 31st day total reset, its more of a 'how ever many days we dont use it is that many days erased from our record? so say we downloaded 3GB in the first two days, and then we dont use it for two days. would that erase the 3GB we downloaded on the first 2 days, or will they erase however much they wanted to. | Day1 | Day2 | Day3 | Day4 |...| Day31 | Day32 | 1.5GB 1.5GB 2GB 4GB 0kb 0kb would day 1 and 2 be wiped clean to bring the total to 6GB plus watever we do for days 5-30? or are we pretty much screwed if we do anything?

yea, i guess ur right, im already being penalized for it, out speed has been cut to 128kbps, and the 64kb download speed is now 16 if im lucky. plus we are alraedy ovr the limit and its only been a week, should we keep using like for browsing, or do nothing until the month is up?

like u said, it is an alternative to dial-up, our ONLY alternative. we live in the country and no other high speed services come out to us, except WildBlue. Comcast can't, Verizon can't, AT&T can't, and Earthlink can't. And D-Way is WAY TO EXPENSIVE for a slower speed than we have. we have been stuck with dial-up for over ten years.

I've went way over my limit in just 5 days! our limit is 7GB in 30days, and we've done 9.5 in one week! here are my results of the speed test: ::::::::::.. testmy.net test results ..:::::::::: Download Connection is:: 600 Kbps about 0.6 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Download Speed is:: 73 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 105 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Upload Speed is:: 13 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/07/03 - 3:15pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-80UX5I2D1 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-JZG45L23D User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 can i do anything about the FAP, such as change to a retail modem from the one from WildBlue? what about speeding things up?

Hello, I have WildBlue High Speed Internet (DSL) and it is the Gold package. my download speeds are 512kbps and my upload is 128kbps. But i can only download up to 64kbps average. Is there anyway i can achieve maximum speeds? Also, There is a Upload/Download Threshold due to the FAP, so i can only download up to 7.5GB in 30 days, and my reason for high speed internet was to download big files fast. Is there anything i can do to bypass this? If we go over the threshold they cut our download speed to 128kbps and our upload speed to 25kbps until we are below the threshold. Is there any way to bypass either or both of these issues? I am new here so i have no clue. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! THNX in Advance.
