80 Gigs and still Going strong

Oober don't give them ideas like that. :)

Anyway, you telling me america doesn't have "abusers" with 24Mbit lines, and if you watch torrent sites some dudes just download everything, some guys even hit the terrabyte mark in a month. Yet you dont see all the "normal" users shouting and screaming at them.

This then gives the question, why would we really need anything faster than 1Mbit for home use, i mean if your at home and you want to download something im sure you have time. but thats a whole other argument.

Right now im just gonna go play games on the internet, oh crap wait thats abuse, well ill just browse the internet, but not any bandwidth intensive sites don't want to be labelled scum. so i suppose then i might aswell get dial up, i mean whats the difference.

See the point of ADSL yet, no, oh don't worry you will get it one day when you pull your head out of Telkoms ass.
 
Sorry oober - You've been branded an abuser and will now be forced to paint a telkom-blue A on your chest so others can see your shameful status! :rolleyes:

a·buser n.
Synonyms: abuse, misuse, mistreat, ill-treat, maltreat
These verbs mean to treat wrongfully or harmfully. Abuse applies to injurious or improper treatment: “We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us” (Aldo Leopold). Misuse stresses incorrect or unknowledgeable handling: “How often misused words generate misleading thoughts” (Herbert Spencer). Mistreat, ill-treat, and maltreat all share the sense of inflicting injury, often intentionally: “I had seen many more patients die from being mistreated for consumption than from consumption itself” (Earl of Lytton). The army had orders not to ill-treat the prisoners. “When we misuse [a language other than our native language], we are in fact trying to reduce its element of foreignness. We let ourselves maltreat it as though it naturally belonged to us” (Manchester Guardian Weekly).
"We abuse Bandwidth that we have paid for...and Misuse it to download things we can not completely justify downloading, whilst the rest of the Bandwidth users are left with throttled speeds"
