Or is their system so darn prehistoric that they'll rather put a bandwidth cap on all their subscribers for the simple fact that IT IS EASIER?Arnuldhttp://www.arnuldignacio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-24238920719725682292013-06-18T18:33:26.596+08:002013-06-18T18:33:26.596+08:00I pay for legit online games with size ranging fro...I pay for legit online games with size ranging from 5gb to 20gb EACH.. <br /><br />So after downloading a huge "online" game, my connection should be crap after that for the whole month because I use bandwidth more than others in a short span of time? <br /><br />This author's perspective seems to be "capped". ironic isn't it?Dhanhttp://twitter.com/pedalsandsticksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-38299379649334478782013-05-08T10:48:28.118+08:002013-05-08T10:48:28.118+08:00hahaha...the writer has a lot of haters, your in d...hahaha...the writer has a lot of haters, your in deep trouble man.<br /><br />i do downloads too, using torrent. but free software's. so that defines me as a "torrentfag" also?<br /><br />how bout this, im paying for an ISP to provide me 2mbs of internet speed. in my 2 yrs of subscription, i never reached even 1.9mbps, not even once did i see my speedtest results to 1.9mbps, not even close, then they put that FUP?. how about FIP, "Fast internet provided" <br /><br />well lets say we can't do anything about that FUP now, 5 out of 10 users switched or have their internet disconnected. will the ISP be able to provide the 2mbs to those 5 left? i strongly believe "NOT". but then they go and implement FUP. how was that suppose to favor us, the subscribers?

Just as a sample, DOTA2 and TF2 receives regular patches roughly ~500MB each. And that's for just two games. If PLDT caps my connection even though I ain't using it at max speed most of the time, how will i be able to redownload my game library when I do a reformat? Steam's game backup process is still not that good(look around in the Steam forum). High speed home connections are being subscribed to for reasons beyond the piracy issue you're pointing out.<br /><br />Also, please stop calling torrent users "fags". That just proves what kind of person you are. Just FYI, I'm a software dev involved in platform distribution development, which includes P2P protocols like the BT protocol. Your "fag" comments are insults to my work, and many others'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-50038189860520810042013-02-18T14:12:52.808+08:002013-02-18T14:12:52.808+08:00You're paying for it.

I'm writing this from the view of the ISPs, who of course, find it sensible to make sure they don't lose house advantage by letting you download to your hearts content. *shrug*REDKINOKOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513385746498034003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-91904689460307503732013-01-19T11:13:41.683+08:002013-01-19T11:13:41.683+08:00We the "torrentfags" as you like to call...We the "torrentfags" as you like to call us, love to download most of the time and we put to good use the high internet speed we subscribed to rather than waste spending around P1,500-P2,000 a month just for what?

"Fair Use Policy" is in. You forgot to factor in this post that telcos have areas of operations. Not all areas are covered by multiple Internet Service Providers. So if you are in an area wherein only one telco can provide a service almost seamlessly, "silent capping" will surely be a problem more so if you operate an internet cafe. Although we know they have already been doing that already.Genkuronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-70660211985302827002011-04-16T21:58:18.307+08:002011-04-16T21:58:18.307+08:00Well, the one's that will mostly be affected ...Well, the one's that will mostly be affected are the ones on the Multimedia/Arts business, the ones on the I.T. line of profession.<br /><br />How about the ones with VPN or Virtual Private Network, in which you work from home SEND / RECEIVE data from remote office - Server.<br /><br />this will definitely bring some businesses/profession in to deep trouble...<br /><br />dburgito@yahoo.comAlejandrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127161940410178029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29794265.post-8771995763566666522011-04-05T10:44:21.020+08:002011-04-05T10:44:21.020+08:00There are a lot of possible reasons for this.
