Lol, please go learn about TCP before making stupid remarks like that, open connections does nothing to a network except use up available pool space. Which gets recycled, by your own admission http servers should collapse due to the shear volume of connections. :erm:

Well since I was actually good friends with the core network guys when I was at an ISP I'd say you're the one talking out your ass :)

Oh well in that case you must be an expert on the TCP protocol. Due to the fact I write server / client software at very low levels, think I'll take my own knowledge and experience in high concurrency environments over your passed down knowledge.

But let me humour you. How does lots of connections damage a network? Lol.

Sorry, but if people make asinine comments like that it's warranted. God forbid how Google's servers handle the millions if not billions of connection requests, their network must be utterly broken. :erm:
 
P2P and client/server are different and I think you two are speaking past one another. P2P and client/server are rather different in their traffic patterns and that will have network management implications.

If I may wager a guess, the issue with many connections might be that it makes classical simple QoS fall flat on its face once over-contended? The single thread performance debate? RSVP hasn't seen a practical application that I'm aware of yet, so once limits start encroaching throughput can become a virtual shouting match.

No his claim is lots of connections on a network are harmful. So im waiting for his reply as to how it is. So in essence if there are a few million connections to the network, well that is very bad apparently. If he mentioned bandwidth constraints or bottlenecks, well then that's just a piss poor network setup, especially if it's an ISP.

Also not to mention the millions of mobile devices connected at any point. Yah I rest my case.

I've been dealing with support over the last 4 days because my 50GB FP account is capped even though I still have 14GB left. They advised me that it was a glitch and that they reactivated it, but each morning it's capped again. Now they telling me I am indeed capped.

I asked for usage logs which they emailed me but this includes bolt-on data as well with no way of separating the two.

If I am indeed capped, I would like my usage in the client panel to indicate as such.

I'va got the same problem - I have 50Gb roll over data left that is not working. I have reported this 3 times already..... Since Friday I have no access during office hours. Are using the free WA 1Gb account now but that is almost depleted.... This is very frustrating...
 
"Recent Session History" hasn't worked for months either, it did in the first 2 months.

Indeed, my pointer is hovering over the cancel button.

Yep, session history has never worked for me either.

I have two fatpipe accounts, one with the bolt-on and one just on its own. The daily usage is broken on both of them currently, sometimes it will work on the standalone one and sometimes it will work on both.

Somebody really needs to get in there and fix that.
 
Same problem here.

I have 53Gb still in reserve, yet before 18h00 and after 06h00 I get locked out.

Real PITA.

My Afrihost account works like a charm........

My opinion is that it's not a problem when switching or routing, ISP core routers should have enough memory to handle this, but multiple connections inevitably use more resources ..but the problem is when you want to do Layer 7 shaping or just complicated bandwidth management at the internet breakout edge, it gets kind of tricky to shape 10-40gbps of traffic comprising of multiple concurrent connections moving small packets

It is not an issue if you have the correct equipment :P
 
Internet also not working 25 gb roll over left showing " capped " + Chatted on live support now and there ADSL down = no internet
either way just saying.
