wtf? netsource is capped?

CyberGhost

I almost signed up for "Netsource Enterprise" 1024/256

that is supposed to be upcapped, when I came accross this page!

scroll down,

24GB!

I thought they had no caps? and there is nothing said about it on their website!

dregin

we're on a 16gig cap.
Ya dont have to worry about it until you start abusing it

CyberGhost

16GBs are on "Netsource Origin Plus"

so they are capped?

I hate caps,

*Netsource crossed out of my potential ISPs list*

I assume that you are looking into this to run an already very popular website, business or large software distribution off of?

Otherwise, I can't see what the hell the problem is. Even then, 24GB is a lot of bandwidth to be using in a month.

or Emule, BT, and be a very big dump on a very popular irc channel


I was usually loading about 30-50 gigs a month! trust me it is very possible! and you won 't even realize how it will go that high!

also!

at that price there are other isps(digiweb) that offer service with no caps!

LMAO this is funny!

on netsource's ws

In January 2004 our usage statistics show that 96% of our customers fall within these levels. To give you an idea of how much just 1 GByte of data is:

of course they will! if not, your are going to cut their bandwidth!

If you're transferring more than 24 gigs a month and using eMule, it can be safely assumed that you're involved in some kind of piracy. So why should they provide the bandwidth for you to do this?

and you want to tell me, that 95% of people here who have BB connection aren't?

that's why the limits exist though. I'm on the eircom 4 gig package and even though downloading movies/music has no interest for me, if I was interested in it, there wouldn't be long until I went over the 4 gig cap and started paying through the nose for the extra data.

By the looks of things, the Netsource 24 gig cap product is aimed at business and I've heard that they monitor the business connections very closely for illegal activity.
