[sllug-members]: Comcast has problems

[Josh Coates]

>I find your response out of line.

i don't understand why.  using a few GB per month seems perfectly normal to
me.

using 250GB per month means you are either doing something illegal or
stupid.

in this case, sentinel is in the latter category (nothing personal) for
letting his computer get taken over for a month by some irc virus.

Hmm.  I guess I am one of those who are costing you more out of your
pocket too.  I am sharing Linux iso's via bittorrent, as well as
grabbing plenty my self.  I am hosing a web server, ssh server with
shared tunneling, jabber server and an ogg server.  I have an
average upload bandwidth of ~4GB / month.  My download sits around
100-125GB / month, which I consider fairly light.

I find your response out of line.

Thanks,
