With a nickname like ProBoner, there's no question what those 800 gigs of bandwidth are being used for

So what speed will they throttle it to?
Will mega upload download at more than 1mb with the 25mbps?
If I disable encryption in utorrent will it not be throttled? Reply With Quote

So the maximum surcharge for exceeding the limit is $25? The surcharge is not spilled over into the next month? So I can download a terabyte in one month without facing penalties in the future?

anyone else get dinged with a $49.99 installation fee?
apparently this smc modem can't be picked up and has to be delivered/installed.
What the hell does the guy have to do besides make the basic cable hookups that I could've done myself? Reply With Quote
