I dont know if anyone here on a RR cable modem has ever had their
packet sampled by RR. They check how much traffic your receiving and
when they figure your setting up a server at home they do two things:
1. Contact you for an explaination. The fact your downloading a lot of
graphics files doesnt cut it anymore because they know...
I've never been contacted and i've been doing it for years.
2. Cutdown your bandwidth to a miserable point where you have to
discontinue running a server. I know this from experience with
just trying to setup a W2K Adv FTP server for practice only.
I routinely get between 600k/sec-1.1Mb/sec from videl and other fast sites,
or do you mean upstream?
3. Cutoff your account completely and put you on a list of violators.
You will have to use your wifes name and new address before
you can reconnect to RR. This news came from a FLEX guy.
As far as I can tell it isn't a violation. I spent a couple hours one day
reading through all the EULA's and FAQs and things on roadrunner sites.
The only thing I remember reading at all is they won't support you doing it.
They won't help you.
Maybe the flex guy was spreading fud?
