Well, the lag is partially caused by people torrenting all day laugh.gif

So you're saying streamyx's failure to provide service as they promised and incapability of keeping up with their user's demand is my fault?

Its like saying "oh additional instances cannot be launched because too many people are raiding and doing instances these days". Its true, many people are doing that, but its not the customer's fault. Its the provider's failure to accomodate their customers. So please stop being ignorant.

Well if you look at other developed countries which utilize bandwidth limits, you understand where they are coming from. Utility companies can't plan infrastructure around anticipating 100% 24/7 usage for every user, they will go bankrupt. Torrenting 24/7 is generally a type of abuse, so many ISPs adopt a bandwidth limit for that. If you are still going to hit back with the line "Well I paid for it so I deserve to use 100% 24/7" then I got nothing to say to you, GLHF with your P2P and gaming.

EDIT: the comparison between instance limits and bandwidth is not accurate as well. If you want to apply torrenting into WoW context, it means having many many 5-man bots running instances nonstop 24/7 until the regular WoW players can't get in when they log on.

That's exactly my point and that's why I'm calling you ignorant again. To quote what I said earlier, 'streamyx's failure to provide service as they promised and incapability of keeping up with their user's demand'.

In other developed countries, I subscribe to their ISP services with the expectation of getting a constant and lower lag connection until my bandwidth hits the limit, and after that my connection will be limited due to excessive use. The ISP from those countries put in place a safeguard for people that hogs their bandwidth. So in other words, their ISP provide what they promised, and we use as we promise until we hit limit caps. They do not care how much you torrent or whatever as long as you hit your bandwidth limit, your connection will be limited. So utility companies can plan infrastructure around anticipating 100% 24/7 usage for every user, until they hit their limit cap.

Now, streamyx has NO SUCH limitation. No where in their agreement stated, we should not use torrent, or downloads, or play WoW. What they promised as a smooth surfing and gaming experience up to my subscribed bandwidth (in my case 1Mbps). Why should my WoW be laggy when I'm supposed to play at 1Mpbs?

Your argument of botting in 5 man instances is weak at best. Why? Even Blizzard has safeguarded their services by limiting a single user to running 5 instances per hour before locking that character from running anymore.

So again, its not my fault for torrenting and hogging the bandwidth, its their fault for failure to provide services as promised. Why is my 1Mbps, plays like a 150 kbs connection? Failure of service thats why.
