Hey slim, I have an idea. If the cap comes in effect @ midnight could u maybe stay up and start d/l from then? That way you can tell us if you're getting 8KB/s.
oh i intend to, i'll be downloading non stop from now untill i am capped and i'll obviously report everythign here, the only thing i have a problem with is how much will 3 more Gbs cost me and when will i be able to purchase them

lets hope this is true,
I still have to decide whether I'm even remotely interested in using the forced pop3 account with iBurst - if local was uncapped & full speed then I'd find a use for the iBurst pop3 account, i.e. forward mail from all my email addresses to the iBurst pop3 account for speedy mail reception...

Then we'd get some cool stuff (movies, isos, appz) from slim.ic said:
Believe me I know, but I also rather not be paying the price that WBS prolly factored into their calcs - not that a pop3 server costs that much to run IMO (but I could be totally wrong about that, in which case make pop3 optionally & I will pay lessslimothy said:
).
I was actually thinking this when reading tother news feed thread about bandwidth decapitation & what not. Slimothy really needs to start up a mail order business where he burns DVDz of all his downloads & shares them with us...rebel said:

thought it was something like that... if only we could trade our pop3 email for an extra GB a month. Wouldnt that be cool
well they are an isp and they already have a sql server with the auth data so next to nothing, they do need a web app to manage aliases and that sort of crap but to just have a pop3 server up is not much work at all, actually i find smtp is harder to set up (done a few in my time) and they had that going since the start basically
The only reason the SMTP was going since the start was cause it had already been set-up for WBS which has been in existence for a while now. But you are right, POP3 is easier to setup then SMTP especially when you have to configure the SMTP server to relay for allt he many domains that IBurst users are currently set up for. At least sendmail is anyway.
