Serious replies only, please. I need to know if i should just go crazy and download everything i want in the next few days cause we're already getting the warning -- or hold back and try to restrain the torrent whores i live with.

Thanks for the tip, although there's only one post that's relavant to my question -- and that's not much help either with only 2 responses.

Personally, I don't think Rogers is that serious about enforcing this new limit -- it's a deterent, more then a hardline rule. At least that's the assumption i've been operating under for the past few weeks.

Originally posted by Surreal JRS Think again, my buddy got cut off a while back for extreme excessive usage. This was the warning email he was sent (which he ignored): quote: From: Rogers Support < [email protected][/email] > Reply-To: Rogers Support < [email][email protected] > To: *removed*@rogers.com Dear Steve Pike , An important message from Rogers Hi-Speed Internet We would like to advise you that there has been excessive usage on your Rogers Hi-Speed Internet account which is in violation of our end user agreement with you. Under our agreement, you are required to use the service in a way that does not create an unusually large burden on our network. Rogers has a responsibility to ensure that all of its customers experience a high quality of service and performance when using Rogers Hi-Speed Internet. Your usage consumes a disproportionate share of our network's resources which has a negative impact on network performance. In fact, you fall within the category of less than 1% of our residential customers whose usage exceeds that of the average customer by well over 2000%. Please be advised that it is important that your account's usage returns to reasonable levels. Unfortunately, unless your usage pattern significantly changes starting in the next two days, we will have no choice but to suspend your Internet account for a period of seven days. The following activities may be increasing your usage: * Engaging in peer-to-peer file sharing; * Running servers; or * Installing shareware that compromises your computer's security. In addition to addressing the above activities, here are some guidelines that may assist you with managing your usage of our Internet service: * Make all users of your account aware of the content of this e-mail and consider the extent of their usage; * Install virus protection software and regularly scan your PC(s) to ensure that you have downloaded the most recent versions of such software; and * Familiarize yourself with all provisions of our agreement with you (particularly prohibited uses of Rogers Hi-Speed Internet). Thank you for your attention. Rogers Hi-Speed Internet I'm allowed to expense $50 + tax for home Internet access, so I don't mind spending extra for more usage. If (when) I get my first warning, I'll be sure to discuss the options with Rogers. Other options: Bell Sympatico currently has no usage caps, although Rogers may have set precedent in the industry. There are also many 3rd parties who rent DSLAMs from Bell and sell their own ADSL services (traffic is switched to their network via Bell's ATM cloud). A few I can think of with unlimited usage (in no particular order): THT (www.tht.net) Look Communications (www.look.ca) MyCybernet (www.mycybernet.net) And there are many others...

i went over the limit 2 times. once by 10gigs and once by 15gigs and i didnt get any warnings or anything.

btw, their usage measurement tool on their website is wrong. it always shows less than what you actually have, which im not complaining about
