Inquisitor Posted March 30, 2004 CID Share Posted March 30, 2004 Whatever this current level of humans is involved with, you'll smell the stench of corruption. These cable companies advertise certains speeds; 2.0 mbps, for instance -- when they've capped it at 1.5 (meaning anything above 1.5 mbps is quite impossible) That includes maxbursts. Whenever the opportunity arises, make your move. Uncapping to the maximum your service advertised, is perfectly justified. It's no different, than if a car salesman sold you a car on the basis of it's fantastic horsepower and speed; but you find otherwise. It's closer to a Ford Taurus than a Corvette. This isn't a court battle the cable company would win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted March 30, 2004 CID Share Posted March 30, 2004 Ironically it's not always the fault of the cable company. I would still be surfing with 300 kbps without adjusting the RWIN. At the chello testserver results I never see speeds higher than 800 kbps, while they should get up to 1500. Nowadays I'm at 1200 there. I'm still pissed about my upload.
